cords_of (Some words not found in UHB: cords_of wicked they,have_surrounded_me law_of,your not forget )

The psalmist is speaking of the schemes of wicked people as if they were physical cords that are intended to ensnare him. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Those who are wicked try to trap me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רְשָׁעִ֣ים

(Some words not found in UHB: cords_of wicked they,have_surrounded_me law_of,your not forget )

The psalmist is using the adjective wicked as a noun to refer to a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could add a word such as “people.” Alternate translation: [people who are wicked]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

לֹ֣א שָׁכָֽחְתִּי

not (Some words not found in UHB: cords_of wicked they,have_surrounded_me law_of,your not forget )

This is a double negative, consisting of the negative particle not and the negative word forget to emphasize that he will carefully remember Yahweh’s precepts. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this. Alternate translation: [I will continually keep in mind everything in]
