OET interlinear PSA 48:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠מְהֻלָּ֣ל

(Some words not found in UHB: song song of,the_sons_of Qoraḩ )

The expression is being praised is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and people are praising him]

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

וּ⁠מְהֻלָּ֣ל

(Some words not found in UHB: song song of,the_sons_of Qoraḩ )

In this context, the verbal form has the implied sense that Yahweh “is to be praised” or “ought to be praised.” Your language may have a verbal form that indicates that explicitly. If so, it would be appropriate to use it here in your translation. If not, you may be able to indicate this sense in another way. Alternate translation: [and he is worthy to be praised]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

בְּ⁠עִ֥יר אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗י⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: song song of,the_sons_of Qoraḩ )

Since the psalmist has used the name Yahweh earlier in this sentence, and since Yahweh is the same person as our God, it may be more natural in your language to use a pronoun here. Alternate translation: [in his city]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

הַר־קָדְשֽׁ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: song song of,the_sons_of Qoraḩ )

The psalmist is using the possessive form to describe a mountain, Mount Zion, that is characterized by holiness. The idea is that Yahweh set apart this mountain as a place where he would be present in a special way and where people would worship him. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [on the mountain that he set apart for himself] or [on the mountain that he made a sacred place]
