uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠מַחֲשַׁכִּ֥ים הוֹשִׁיבַ֖⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: in,dark_places he,has_caused_me_to_dwell like,dead_[people]_of long_ago )

Here the writer is speaking as if God had placed him in dark places, the realm where the forgotten dead dwell without hope. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He has made me dwell in a place of utter despair]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠מֵתֵ֥י עוֹלָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: in,dark_places he,has_caused_me_to_dwell like,dead_[people]_of long_ago )

The point of this comparison is that just as the dead of long ago are forgotten and have no hope, so the writer feels completely hopeless, as though no one remembers him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [as if I were among those who have been dead and forgotten for a long time]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
