uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

הַפְקֵ֣ד עָלָ֣י⁠ו רָשָׁ֑ע

appoint on/upon/above=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: appoint on/upon/above=him/it wicked and,an_accuser stand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hand_of,his_right )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please appoint a wicked one over him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַפְקֵ֣ד עָלָ֣י⁠ו רָשָׁ֑ע

appoint on/upon/above=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: appoint on/upon/above=him/it wicked and,an_accuser stand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hand_of,his_right )

Here David is speaking as if God would appoint a human judge to preside over his enemy. He means that he wants God to bring judgment upon his enemy. If this image does not communicate well in your language, you could express this as a comparison or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Appoint a wicked one to judge him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רָשָׁ֑ע

(Some words not found in UHB: appoint on/upon/above=him/it wicked and,an_accuser stand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hand_of,his_right )

David is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [a wicked man]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֝⁠שָׂטָ֗ן יַעֲמֹ֥ד עַל־יְמִינֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: appoint on/upon/above=him/it wicked and,an_accuser stand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hand_of,his_right )

By an accuser, David means someone who will bring formal charges against his enemy in court. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and may someone accuse him before that wicked judge of doing evil things]

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.
