(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! the,man not make ʼElohīm refuge_of,his and,he_trusted in,the_greatness_of his_rich[es]_of,his sought_refuge in,destruction_of,his )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because you have done this, I will praise you forever]

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! the,man not make ʼElohīm refuge_of,his and,he_trusted in,the_greatness_of his_rich[es]_of,his sought_refuge in,destruction_of,his )

David is using a verbal form that typically describes action completed in the past. While verbal forms are more flexible in poetry, he may be using this form to describe something that is going to happen in the future in order to show that the event will certainly happen. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: [you will do this]

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because your name is good before your faithful ones, I will await it]

וַ⁠אֲקַוֶּ֖ה שִׁמְ⁠ךָ֥

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! the,man not make ʼElohīm refuge_of,his and,he_trusted in,the_greatness_of his_rich[es]_of,his sought_refuge in,destruction_of,his )

Here God’s name represents his reputation. David means that he will wait for God to confirm his reputation for being just by judging and punishing Doeg. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I will wait for you to confirm your reputation]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ט֝֗וֹב נֶ֣גֶד חֲסִידֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! the,man not make ʼElohīm refuge_of,his and,he_trusted in,the_greatness_of his_rich[es]_of,his sought_refuge in,destruction_of,his )

Here God’s name being before his faithful ones represents it being where they can see it. In other words, God has shown them that his name is good, that is, that he deserves his good reputation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [you have shown your faithful ones that it is good]

David is using the adjective faithful as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. The ULT indicates this by supplying the word ones. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [your faithful people]
