Elihu assumes that Job will understand that by sing, he means that the person will go to a temple and publicly sing a song of thanksgiving to celebrate how God has delivered him, as was the custom in this culture. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “He will sing a song of thanksgiving in a temple”

and=he/it_said sinned and,right perverted and=not paid_back to=me
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “and say that he sinned and turned aside uprightness but that God did not requite to him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וְיָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי
and,right perverted
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of uprightness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and I turned aside what was right”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְיָשָׁ֥ר הֶעֱוֵ֗יתִי
and,right perverted
Elihu is speaking of uprightness as if it were a living thing that had been walking down the right path and he turned it aside so that it began going down the wrong path. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I did what was not right”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
