uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּֽי

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you(ms) created kidneys_of,my you,wove_me_together in,the_womb_of my_mother_of,my )

The word For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. David is giving the reason why darkness and light are the same to Yahweh: because Yahweh is the all-knowing Creator. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [This is because]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אַ֭תָּה קָנִ֣יתָ

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you(ms) created kidneys_of,my you,wove_me_together in,the_womb_of my_mother_of,my )

David is stating the pronoun you separately, even though the verb created already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that it was Yahweh himself who created him. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [you yourself created]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִלְיֹתָ֑⁠י

kidneys_of,my

Here, my kidneys represents David’s deepest inner being, including his emotions and thoughts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [my innermost being]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תְּ֝סֻכֵּ֗⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you(ms) created kidneys_of,my you,wove_me_together in,the_womb_of my_mother_of,my )

Here David is speaking of Yahweh creating him as if Yahweh were a craftsperson knitting material together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you carefully crafted me]
