Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִסְּר֥וּ⁠נִי כִלְיוֹתָֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: bless DOM YHWH which/who he,has_counseled_me also/though night they,have_instructed_me kidneys_of,my )

Here David assumes that readers will know that when he speaks of his mind instructing him, this happens as he thinks about Yahweh and what is pleasing to Yahweh, and probably also as he prays. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [my mind instructs me as I think about Yahweh] or [my mind instructs me as I pray and think about Yahweh]
