UTN uW Translation Notes:

your & you

(Some words not found in UHB: the,redeems from,pit life,your the,crowns,you steadfast_love and,compassion )

David is speaking to himself, so he uses the words “your” and “you” to refer to himself. Many translations express this with “my” and “me” as the UST does.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

He redeems your life from destruction

(Some words not found in UHB: the,redeems from,pit life,your the,crowns,you steadfast_love and,compassion )

This means that Yahweh keeps him alive. Alternate translation: “He saves me from dying”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy

(Some words not found in UHB: the,redeems from,pit life,your the,crowns,you steadfast_love and,compassion )

Here blessing someone and treating them with great honor is described as if it were placing a crown on that person’s head. The abstract nouns “faithfulness” and “mercy” can be translated with adverbs. Alternate translation: “he blesses you by acting faithfully and mercifully towards you” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)
