Here, hands represents Yahweh’s power and action. David speaks of God acting on his behalf as if God were reaching out his hands from above. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Use your power from above]

(Some words not found in UHB: stretch_out hands_of,your from,a_high_place set,me_free and,deliver,me from,waters mighty from_[the],hand_of sons_of foreign )

The phrases break me free and deliver me mean similar things. David is using the two phrases together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [deliver me to freedom]
