uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַ⁠מַּ֣יִם שְׁטָפ֑וּ⁠נוּ נַ֗֜חְלָ⁠ה עָבַ֥ר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: then the=waters they,had_overflowed_us torrent,(to)_a swept on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in self_of,our )

Here David is speaking of the attacks of the enemies as if they were waters and a torrent that was like a river overflowing its banks or a flood that could overwhelm and drown Israel. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Then the enemies would have overwhelmed us; the attacks would have destroyed us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נַפְשֵֽׁ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: then the=waters they,had_overflowed_us torrent,(to)_a swept on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in self_of,our )

Here, soul represents the people themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [all of us]

124:4 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.

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.
