uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

רְאֵ֣ה

consider

By See, David means “take notice of” or “pay attention to.” David is asking God to consider his difficult situation with compassion. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Consider]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִ⁠י וַ⁠עֲמָלִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠שָׂ֗א לְ⁠כָל־חַטֹּאותָֽ⁠י

consider affliction_of,my and,trouble_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: consider affliction_of,my and,trouble_of,my and,forgive to/from=all/each/any/every sins_of,my )

The words See and forgive are imperatives, but they communicate polite requests rather than commands. If the imperative form does not communicate polite requests in your language, you could use a form that communicates polite requests. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please see my affliction and my trouble, and please forgive all of my sins]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִ⁠י וַ⁠עֲמָלִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠שָׂ֗א לְ⁠כָל־חַטֹּאותָֽ⁠י

consider affliction_of,my and,trouble_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: consider affliction_of,my and,trouble_of,my and,forgive to/from=all/each/any/every sins_of,my )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of affliction and trouble, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [See how I am afflicted and troubled, and forgive all of the sinful things that I have done]
