OET interlinear PSA 16:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שִׁוִּ֬יתִי יְהוָ֣ה לְ⁠נֶגְדִּ֣⁠י תָמִ֑יד

(Some words not found in UHB: set YHWH to,before,me always that/for/because/then/when [he,is]_of,from_my_right_hand not shaken )

The implication is that David is deliberately making Yahweh his constant focus and priority in life. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I constantly focus on Yahweh] or [In all that I do I am conscious of Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִֽ֝⁠ימִינִ֗⁠י

[he,is]_of,from_my_right_hand

David is using he is at my right hand as a common expression of his culture to mean “he is helping me” or “he is protecting me.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he is helping me] or [he is protecting me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בַּל־אֶמּֽוֹט

(Some words not found in UHB: set YHWH to,before,me always that/for/because/then/when [he,is]_of,from_my_right_hand not shaken )

See how you translated the similar expression in [15:5](../015/005.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

בַּל־אֶמּֽוֹט

(Some words not found in UHB: set YHWH to,before,me always that/for/because/then/when [he,is]_of,from_my_right_hand not shaken )

This is a double negative. David uses the negative particle not, with the negative word shaken to express a positive meaning strongly. The phrase I will not be shaken means that David will remain firm and secure. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this. Alternate translation: [he makes me live securely]
