חֲרוּצִ֨ים ׀ יָמָ֗יו

The pronoun his refers to a person in general, as in verse 2. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “a person’s days are determined”

חֲרוּצִ֨ים ׀ יָמָ֗יו
determined his/its=days
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “you have determined his days” or “you determine for how many days each person will live”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מִֽסְפַּר־חֳדָשָׁ֥יו אִתָּ֑ךְ

The expression is with you describes something that the person being addressed has the power and authority to decide. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “the number of his months is up to you” or “the number of his months is something that you decide”
