uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

עֲצַת־עָנִ֥י תָבִ֑ישׁוּ

plans_of poor frustrate

The pronoun You refers to the wicked people who do the evil things that are described in the previous verses. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [You wicked people shame the counsel of the afflicted]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

עֲצַת־עָנִ֥י תָבִ֑ישׁוּ

plans_of poor frustrate

The psalmist is using the possessive form the counsel of the afflicted to mean the counsel that poor but godly people have decided to follow, that is, their decision to obey God. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [You wicked people try to humiliate the afflicted for deciding to obey God]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

עָנִ֥י

poor

The psalmist is using the adjective afflicted as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [an afflicted person] or [people in humble circumstances]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְהוָ֣ה מַחְסֵֽ⁠הוּ

YHWH refuge_of,[is]_his

Here the psalmist is speaking of Yahweh as if he were actually a refuge, that is, a place where someone can go to be safe from danger. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh protects him]
