(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when loyalty_of,your_covenant [is]_to,before eyes_of,my and,I_walk_about in,faithfulness_of,your )

David is using before my eyes as a common expression of his culture to mean “constantly in my thoughts” or “always in my awareness.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am always mindful of your covenant faithfulness] or [I constantly remember your covenant faithfulness]

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when loyalty_of,your_covenant [is]_to,before eyes_of,my and,I_walk_about in,faithfulness_of,your )
