OET interlinear PSA 4:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: for_the,director in/on/at/with,stringed_instruments psalm of,David )

Here the possessive could mean: (1) “my righteous God,” or (2) “God who vindicates me.” Both options are grammatically possible, and both fit the context well. The following relative clause (verse 2b), which highlights God’s past faithfulness, may suggest that it is God’s righteousness that is in view (hence the UST rendering). You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: for_the,director in/on/at/with,stringed_instruments psalm of,David )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “my God, the righteous one”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בַּ֭⁠צָּר

(Some words not found in UHB: for_the,director in/on/at/with,stringed_instruments psalm of,David )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of distress, you could express the same idea in another way. The original word is related to narrowness. Alternate translation: “in trouble” or “when I am oppressed”
