OET interlinear PSA 138:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יְהוָה֮ יִגְמֹ֪ר בַּ֫עֲדִ֥⁠י

YHWH fulfill (Some words not found in UHB: YHWH fulfill for,me YHWH loyalty_of,your_covenant [is],forever works_of your_two's_hands_of,your not abandon )

By Yahweh will accomplish for my benefit, the psalmist means that whatever Yahweh does will be to fulfill his purpose for David. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh will accomplish his purpose for my benefit]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חַסְדְּ⁠ךָ֣

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH fulfill for,me YHWH loyalty_of,your_covenant [is],forever works_of your_two's_hands_of,your not abandon )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of covenant faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the way you are faithful to your covenant]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

מַעֲשֵׂ֖י יָדֶ֣י⁠ךָ אַל־תֶּֽרֶף

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH fulfill for,me YHWH loyalty_of,your_covenant [is],forever works_of your_two's_hands_of,your not abandon )

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 do not forsake the works of your hands]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מַעֲשֵׂ֖י יָדֶ֣י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH fulfill for,me YHWH loyalty_of,your_covenant [is],forever works_of your_two's_hands_of,your not abandon )

Here, the works of your hands represents what Yahweh has made and accomplished. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [what you have made]
