uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

יַחֲזֵ֣ק בְּ⁠מָעוּזִּ֔⁠י

cling_to on,protection_of,my

Yahweh is saying what he wants the one who opposes him to do. See the discussion in the introduction to this book about “let” and “may” and follow the decision of your team of how a speaker will express in this context what he wants someone to do. Alternate translation: [it should take hold of my refuge]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠מָעוּזִּ֔⁠י

on,protection_of,my

Here Yahweh is speaking as if his protection were a physical refuge that a person could take hold of. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of me for protection]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה שָׁל֖וֹם לִ֑⁠י שָׁל֖וֹם יַֽעֲשֶׂה־לִּֽ⁠י

he/it_made/did peace to=me peace he/it_made/did to/for=me

See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [Or let it take hold of my refuge and make peace with me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה שָׁל֖וֹם לִ֑⁠י

he/it_made/did peace to=me

Yahweh is saying what he wants the one who opposes him to do. See the discussion in the introduction to this book about “let” and “may” and follow the decision of your team of how a speaker will express in this context what he wants someone to do. Alternate translation: [may it make peace with me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שָׁל֖וֹם

peace

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a peaceful relationship]
