If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the one saving his king by great deeds]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠עֹ֤שֶׂה חֶ֨סֶד

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so I,will_give_thanks_to_you among,nations YHWH and,to,name_of,your sing_praises )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of covenant faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and being faithful to his covenant]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לִ⁠מְשִׁיח֗⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so I,will_give_thanks_to_you among,nations YHWH and,to,name_of,your sing_praises )

The expression his anointed is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [to the one he anointed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠לְ⁠זַרְע֗⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so I,will_give_thanks_to_you among,nations YHWH and,to,name_of,your sing_praises )

Here David is speaking of his offspring as if they were actually seed. Just as a seed can grow into a plant that produces more seeds, David’s descendants would continue to come from his family line. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and to all who descend from him]
