UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לָ֤⁠מָּה תָשִׁ֣יב יָ֭דְ⁠ךָ וִֽ⁠ימִינֶ֑⁠ךָ

to/for=what hold_back hand,your and,right_hand,your

Here, God’s hand is associated with action and the phrase right hand further describes the first mention of God’s hand and describes God’s hand as being his right hand which was associated with power in that culture. The psalmist is asking God to powerfully intervene on behalf of his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Why do you refuse to intervene and help us with your great strength?” or “Why do you refuse to intervene and help us with your great power?”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠קֶּ֖רֶב חֵֽיקְךָ֣ כַלֵּֽה

from,folds (Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what hold_back hand,your and,right_hand,your from,folds bosom,your destroy )

The psalmist is speaking as if God literally had a hand tucked within the fold of a garment. He means that it feels as if God is choosing not to take action. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with a simile, with an equivalent expression from your culture, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Your inaction feels like you have your hand within the fold of your garment. Please take action and destroy our enemies”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַלְכִּ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what hold_back hand,your and,right_hand,your from,folds bosom,your destroy )

Though the psalmist refers to God as my king here, it is likely that he is expressing that God is the king of every person who belongs to the nation of Israel. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly as modeled by the UST.

מִ⁠קֶּ֑דֶם

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what hold_back hand,your and,right_hand,your from,folds bosom,your destroy )
