UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יוֹמָ֤ם ׀ יְצַוֶּ֬ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ חַסְדּ֗⁠וֹ וּ֭⁠בַ⁠לַּיְלָה שִׁיר֣וֹ עִמִּ֑⁠י\n\n

(Some words not found in UHB: deep to/towards deep calls to=sound/voice waterfalls,your all/each/any/every breakers,your and,waves,your over,me swept )

The author speaks of covenant faithfulness as if it were a person that Yahweh could command. Likewise, the author speaks of his song as if it were a person that could be present with him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “During the day, Yahweh performs his steadfast love, and in the night, I sign a song about him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יוֹמָ֤ם ׀ יְצַוֶּ֬ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ חַסְדּ֗⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: deep to/towards deep calls to=sound/voice waterfalls,your all/each/any/every breakers,your and,waves,your over,me swept )

Here, the author leaves out the implied information that Yahweh commands his steadfast love to be with the author. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh commands his steadfast love to be with me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יוֹמָ֤ם ׀ יְצַוֶּ֬ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ חַסְדּ֗⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: deep to/towards deep calls to=sound/voice waterfalls,your all/each/any/every breakers,your and,waves,your over,me swept )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Yahweh is faithful to his covenant during the day”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לְ⁠אֵ֣ל חַיָּֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: deep to/towards deep calls to=sound/voice waterfalls,your all/each/any/every breakers,your and,waves,your over,me swept )

Here, the author is using the possessive form to describe how God is the one who sustains his life If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “to the God who sustains my life” or “to the God who causes me to live”
