OET interlinear PSA 17:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אֲנִֽי־קְרָאתִ֣י⁠ךָ כִֽי־תַעֲנֵ֣⁠נִי אֵ֑ל

I I,call_out_to_you for you,will_answer_me god

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because you will answer me God, I have called upon you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

הַֽט

incline

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please incline]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הַֽט־אָזְנְ⁠ךָ֥ לִ֝֗⁠י

incline ear_of,your to=me

Here, ear represents hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Listen to me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שְׁמַ֣ע אִמְרָתִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: I I,call_out_to_you for you,will_answer_me god incline ear_of,your to=me hear my=speech/discourse )

By my speech, David means his prayer. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [listen to my prayer]
