OET interlinear PSA 16:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שָׂמַ֣ח לִ֭בִּ⁠י וַ⁠יָּ֣גֶל כְּבוֹדִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence glad heart_of,my and,it_was_glad honor_of,my also/though flesh_of,my rests to,security )

These two phrases my heart is glad and my glory rejoices mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [my heart is glad, yes, my whole being rejoices] or [my heart is glad, yes, my glory rejoices]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שָׂמַ֣ח לִ֭בִּ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence glad heart_of,my and,it_was_glad honor_of,my also/though flesh_of,my rests to,security )

Here the heart represents where a person’s emotions exist. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am glad] or [I feel glad]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יָּ֣גֶל כְּבוֹדִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence glad heart_of,my and,it_was_glad honor_of,my also/though flesh_of,my rests to,security )

Here, glory represents David’s “spirit” and by extension his feelings that come from his spirit (inner person). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I rejoice]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ֝שָׂרִ֗⁠י יִשְׁכֹּ֥ן

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence glad heart_of,my and,it_was_glad honor_of,my also/though flesh_of,my rests to,security )

Here, flesh represents David himself, specifically his body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will dwell]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לָ⁠בֶֽטַח

to,security

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of security, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [securely]
