Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ

If you decided in the previous verse to translate this quotation in such a way that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: “the one teaching people more than the beasts of the earth, making them wiser than the birds of the heavens.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ
teaches,us more_than,animals earth and,than,birds the=heavens makes_~_wiser,us
In this quotation, the speaker describes beasts and birds as if they were living things that God could teach and make wise. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one who gave us more understanding than the beasts of the earth and the birds of the heavens”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ & יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ
teaches,us & makes_~_wiser,us
The speaker is using the pronoun us to mean people and thus to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
OET (OET-RV) who has taught us more than he taught the animals,
⇔ ≈and made us wiser than he made the birds in the sky.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
