uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

גְּאוּלֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: say redeemed_of YHWH which/who he,has_redeemed_them from_[the],hand_of foe )

The expression the redeemed of Yahweh 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 Yahweh. Alternate translation: [those whom Yahweh has redeemed]

say (Some words not found in UHB: say redeemed_of YHWH which/who he,has_redeemed_them from_[the],hand_of foe )

By using Let, the psalmist is expressing what he desires or prays will happen. See the discussion in the introduction to this book about “let” and “may” and follow the decision of your team of how a speaker will express in this context what he wants someone to do. Alternate translation: [I desire that the redeemed of Yahweh say that they have been redeemed]

אֲשֶׁ֥ר גְּ֝אָלָ֗⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: say redeemed_of YHWH which/who he,has_redeemed_them from_[the],hand_of foe )

It might seem that the expression who he rescued them contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [whom he rescued]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠יַּד־צָֽר

(Some words not found in UHB: say redeemed_of YHWH which/who he,has_redeemed_them from_[the],hand_of foe )

Here, hand represents the power or control of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from the control of the opponent]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

צָֽר

foe

The psalmist is not referring to a specific opponent. He means opponents in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [every opponent]
