uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠אֹמַ֗ר

(Some words not found in UHB: fear and,trembling come on,me and,it,has_covered_me horror )

David has not said this to anyone else. He has said it to himself. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I have said to myself] or [I have thought]

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

מִֽי־יִתֶּן־לִּ֣⁠י אֵ֭בֶר כַּ⁠יּוֹנָ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: fear and,trembling come on,me and,it,has_covered_me horror )

Here the word wing is singular in form, but it refers to both of the two wings that a dove has. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural or dual form of “wing.” Alternate translation: [Who will give, the wings of a dove are to me?]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִֽי־יִתֶּן־לִּ֣⁠י אֵ֭בֶר כַּ⁠יּוֹנָ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: fear and,trembling come on,me and,it,has_covered_me horror )

David is using Who will give as a common expression of his culture to introduce a fervent wish. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [O that I had the wings of a dove!] or [I fervently wish that I had the wings of a dove!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֶשְׁכֹּֽנָה

(Some words not found in UHB: fear and,trembling come on,me and,it,has_covered_me horror )

David means implicitly that he wishes he could dwell somewhere safe. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and let me dwell somewhere safe]
