Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רָעָ֫תִ֥⁠י

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of evil, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [at my misfortune]

(Some words not found in UHB: put_to_shame and,may_they_be_abashed altogether rejoice_of my_distress_of,my clothed shame and,ignominy [those,who]_magnify_themselves on,me )

David is speaking of shame and humiliation as if these were garments that his enemies would wear or be clothed in. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [be completely covered in disgrace]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יִֽלְבְּשׁוּ־בֹ֥שֶׁת וּ⁠כְלִמָּ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: put_to_shame and,may_they_be_abashed altogether rejoice_of my_distress_of,my clothed shame and,ignominy [those,who]_magnify_themselves on,me )

(Some words not found in UHB: put_to_shame and,may_they_be_abashed altogether rejoice_of my_distress_of,my clothed shame and,ignominy [those,who]_magnify_themselves on,me )

The expression be clothed is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to 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: [May God clothe them]

(Some words not found in UHB: put_to_shame and,may_they_be_abashed altogether rejoice_of my_distress_of,my clothed shame and,ignominy [those,who]_magnify_themselves on,me )

David is using magnifying themselves against me as a common expression to mean boasting or exalting themselves in defiance of him.
