uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אֶשָּׂ֥א כַנְפֵי־שָׁ֑חַר אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּ⁠אַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: take wings_of dawn settle in=end/latter sea )

See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of phrases in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [If I travel to the most distant place in the world]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

אֶשָּׂ֥א

(Some words not found in UHB: take wings_of dawn settle in=end/latter sea )

Here, If I lift up introduces the first part of a possible condition that continues from the hypothetical condition David began in verse 8. David is using this hypothetical situation to emphasize that God is present everywhere. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that could happen. Alternate translation: [Even if I lift up]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

כַנְפֵי־שָׁ֑חַר אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּ⁠אַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם

wings_of (Some words not found in UHB: take wings_of dawn settle in=end/latter sea )

David is referring to everywhere by naming two extremes, the wings of the dawn, representing the east where the sun rises, and the farthest part of the sea, representing the distant west. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the farthest eastern horizon and the most remote western shore]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

כַנְפֵי־שָׁ֑חַר

wings_of (Some words not found in UHB: take wings_of dawn settle in=end/latter sea )

David is speaking of the dawn as if it were a bird that had wings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the first rays of the morning light]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּ⁠אַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: take wings_of dawn settle in=end/latter sea )

David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [if I dwell in the farthest part of the sea]
