UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me

(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long days )

Yahweh being good and faithful to a person is spoken of as if goodness and covenant faithfulness are things that pursue after a person. The abstract nouns “goodness” and “faithfulness” can be translated as adjectives. Alternate translation: “Surely you will be good and faithful to me” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

all the days of my life

(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long days )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word life, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “as long as I live”

the house of Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long days )

This could mean: (1) this refers to Yahweh’s eternal home, or (2) this refers to Yahweh’s temple in Jerusalem. If possible, translate it so that both meanings could be understood.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

for the length of my days

(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long days )

This idiom refers to the duration of his life. Alternate translation: “as long as I live” or “forever”
