David is using the possessive form to describe a way that belongs to Yahweh. He means the way of living that Yahweh prescribes. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the way that Yahweh commands]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וִֽ֭⁠ירוֹמִמְ⁠ךָ

and,he,will_exalt_you

Here David is speaking of honoring someone as if they were and object that someone would raise up. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he will honor you in order for you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

בְּ⁠הִכָּרֵ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים

(Some words not found in UHB: wait to/towards YHWH and,keep its=road/course and,he,will_exalt_you to,possess land when,are_cut_off wicked see )

David is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [When those who are wicked are cut off]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בְּ⁠הִכָּרֵ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים

(Some words not found in UHB: wait to/towards YHWH and,keep its=road/course and,he,will_exalt_you to,possess land when,are_cut_off wicked see )

The expression are cut off 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 Yahweh. Alternate translation: [Yahweh cuts off the wicked]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠הִכָּרֵ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים

David is using cut off as a common expression of the culture to mean “destroyed.” 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: [When the wicked are destroyed]
