OET interlinear PSA 120:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭⁠ךָ וּ⁠מַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗⁠ךְ

what? (Some words not found in UHB: what? given to/for=yourself(m) and,what? more_~_done to/for=you(fs) tongue deceitful )

The psalmist is using the question form to warn his enemies of certain punishment from God. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this question as a statement or as exclamation. Alternate translation: [He will give punishment to you, and he will add more to you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭⁠ךָ וּ⁠מַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗⁠ךְ

what? (Some words not found in UHB: what? given to/for=yourself(m) and,what? more_~_done to/for=you(fs) tongue deceitful )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [What severe punishment will he give to you]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

יִּתֵּ֣ן

(Some words not found in UHB: what? given to/for=yourself(m) and,what? more_~_done to/for=you(fs) tongue deceitful )

The pronoun he refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [will Yahweh give]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לָשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה

tongue (Some words not found in UHB: what? given to/for=yourself(m) and,what? more_~_done to/for=you(fs) tongue deceitful )

As in the previous verse, tongue of deceit represents the psalmist’s enemies who are telling lies about him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [O you who speak deceitfully]
