חֶלְקִ֤⁠י יְהוָה֙ אָמְרָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֔⁠י

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate this so that there is not a direct quotation but an indirect one. Alternate translation: [I realized that Yahweh is all I need]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

חֶלְקִ֤⁠י יְהוָה֙

portion_of,[is]_my YHWH

Here the writer is speaking of Yahweh as if he were an inherited portion of land. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh is like my inheritance]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אָמְרָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֔⁠י

says (Some words not found in UHB: portion_of,[is]_my YHWH says self_of,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so hope to=him/it )

Here, my soul represents the writer himself from the perspective of his inner being. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [I said to myself]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

עַל־כֵּ֖ן אוֹחִ֥יל לֽ⁠וֹ

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: portion_of,[is]_my YHWH says self_of,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so hope to=him/it )

The word therefore here indicates that what follows is a result of Yahweh being his portion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes this relationship clear. Alternate translation: [and so I will hope in him]
