UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

what can mere man do to me?

(Some words not found in UHB: day afraid I in,you trust )

Here a question is used to show that the psalmist is not afraid of people, because they cannot seriously harm him. If your readers would misunderstand this question, you can express it as a statement. Alternate translation: “mere man can do nothing to me!” or “mere man cannot harm me badly!”

mere man

(Some words not found in UHB: day afraid I in,you trust )

“just humans” or “people.” This implies that people are not powerful, but God is powerful.
