5:5 OSHB note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.
5:5 OSHB note: We read punctuation in L differently from BHS.

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in neck_of,our pursuers weary and,no rest to/for=us )
The writer is using pursued on our necks as a common expression of the culture to mean “our enemies chase us relentlessly and are close behind us.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [We are chased relentlessly by our enemies]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לא
and,no
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of rest, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and we are not allowed to rest]

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.
