(Some words not found in UHB: send_forth spirit_of,your they,are_created and,you_renew face/surface_of soil/ground )

The psalmist assumes that readers will know that it is when God sends out his breath that creatures then begin to live. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [When you send out your breath; then they are created]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲ⁠ךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּ⁠ן

(Some words not found in UHB: send_forth spirit_of,your they,are_created and,you_renew face/surface_of soil/ground )

The same word that is translated as breath in this and the previous verse also means “spirit.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to translate as it does. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to translate as the ULT does. Alternate translation: [You send out your Spirit; they are created]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִבָּרֵא֑וּ⁠ן

(Some words not found in UHB: send_forth spirit_of,your they,are_created and,you_renew face/surface_of soil/ground )

The expression they are created is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [you create them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: send_forth spirit_of,your they,are_created and,you_renew face/surface_of soil/ground )

Here, the face of the land represents everything living on the surface of the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [everything living on the earth]
