(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,call,I answer,me god_of righteousness_of,my in/on/at/with,distress gave_~_room to/for=me gracious,me and,hear prayer_of,my )

Son of man could refer to: (1) the mortality and finitude of his enemies (as opposed to God’s eternal infinitude), (2) important or wealthy men, (3) the fact that the author is now addressing people rather than God. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “You men”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עַד־מֶ֬ה כְבוֹדִ֣⁠י לִ֭⁠כְלִמָּה תֶּאֱהָב֣וּ⁠ן רִ֑יק תְּבַקְשׁ֖וּ כָזָ֣ב

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,call,I answer,me god_of righteousness_of,my in/on/at/with,distress gave_~_room to/for=me gracious,me and,hear prayer_of,my )

The author is using the question form to rebuke his enemies. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these three questions as statements or exclamations. Alternate translation: “stop calling glory shame! Stop loving futility! Stop seeking falsehood!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כְבוֹדִ֣⁠י לִ֭⁠כְלִמָּה

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,call,I answer,me god_of righteousness_of,my in/on/at/with,distress gave_~_room to/for=me gracious,me and,hear prayer_of,my )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of glory and shame, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “you consider my glorious deeds as shameful deeds”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תֶּאֱהָב֣וּ⁠ן רִ֑יק תְּבַקְשׁ֖וּ כָזָ֣ב

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,call,I answer,me god_of righteousness_of,my in/on/at/with,distress gave_~_room to/for=me gracious,me and,hear prayer_of,my )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of futility and falsehood, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “How long will you love vain things? How long will you pursue untrue things?”
