OET interlinear PSA 27:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

שְׁמַע־יְהוָ֖ה קוֹלִ֥⁠י אֶקְרָ֗א וְ⁠חָנֵּ֥⁠נִי וַ⁠עֲנֵֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: hear YHWH my=sound/voice call and,show,favor_to_me and,answer,me )

Here David is using the imperative forms Hear, be gracious to me, and answer me, but he intends to communicate polite requests rather than commands. If these imperative forms do not communicate polite requests for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates polite requests. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please hear, Yahweh, my voice when I cry out, and please be gracious to me, and answer me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

קוֹלִ֥⁠י אֶקְרָ֗א

my=sound/voice call

Here, voice represents David’s prayer or request. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my request when I cry out]
