uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּֽי־הֶ֭חֱרַשְׁתִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

By kept silent, David means that he did not confess his sin to God. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [When I kept silent about my sin]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בָּל֣וּ עֲצָמָ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

Here David is speaking as if his bones were actually deteriorating. He means that his body was becoming weak, and he felt as if he was ill. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my vitality was depleted]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

בְּ֝⁠שַׁאֲגָתִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

The word translated as through indicates that what follows is a result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Alternate translation: [which caused me to scream]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

בְּ֝⁠שַׁאֲגָתִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

David says through my screaming as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [through my groaning]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָּל־הַ⁠יּֽוֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

David is using all of the day as a common expression of his culture to mean “continually.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [continually]
