OET interlinear PSA 116:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠בְ⁠שֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֶקְרָ֑א

(Some words not found in UHB: and,on,the_name_of YHWH called o YHWH deliver, life_of,my )

The psalmist is using the term name to refer to Yahweh himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Then I called on Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

מַלְּטָ֥⁠ה נַפְשִֽׁ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,on,the_name_of YHWH called o YHWH deliver, life_of,my )

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. Alternate translation: [I beg you to rescue my life]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מַלְּטָ֥⁠ה נַפְשִֽׁ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,on,the_name_of YHWH called o YHWH deliver, life_of,my )

Here, life represents the person himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [rescue me] or [keep me from dying]
