If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “because I know that you would not acquit me, I would fear all my sorrows”

יָגֹ֥רְתִּי כָל־עַצְּבֹתָ֑י
afraid all sufferings,my
Job is speaking implicitly of the sorrows he knows he would still experience when God punished him for the things God would consider him guilty of doing. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I would still fear all the sorrows that I would experience because of your punishments”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
לֹ֥א תְנַקֵּֽנִי
not hold_~_innocent,me
The pronoun you is singular because it refers to God rather than to the three friends. So use the second-person singular in your translation if your language marks that distinction. Even though to this point in this speech Job has been protesting that he cannot argue his case with God, here he addresses God directly, as he did in 7:7–21 and as he will do later in this speech in 10:2–22. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “you, God, would not acquit me”
9:28 The word you makes it clear that this is a prayer, although the phrase O God is not explicit in the Hebrew.
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.
