OET interlinear PSA 103:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁ⁠י אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וְ⁠כָל־קְ֝רָבַ֗⁠י אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם קָדְשֽׁ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: of,David bless my_soul_of,my DOM YHWH and=all parts_of,my_inward DOM name_of his_holiness_of,his )

The phrases Bless Yahweh, my soul and all of my inward parts, the name of his holiness mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [Bless Yahweh, my soul! Yes, all of my inward parts, bless the name of his holiness]
