uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

חָנֵּ֣⁠נִי אֱ֭לֹהִים כִּֽי־שְׁאָפַ֣⁠נִי אֱנ֑וֹשׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: to,choirmaster on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dove_of silent distant of,David miktam when,seized DOM=him/it Fəlishtiy in,Gath )

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: [Man tramples me, so be gracious to me, God!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

חָנֵּ֣⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: to,choirmaster on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dove_of silent distant of,David miktam when,seized DOM=him/it Fəlishtiy in,Gath )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request, here and in verses 7 and 8. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please be gracious to me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

שְׁאָפַ֣⁠נִי אֱנ֑וֹשׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: to,choirmaster on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dove_of silent distant of,David miktam when,seized DOM=him/it Fəlishtiy in,Gath )

David is not referring to a specific man. He means all of the Philistines who have captured him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [men are trampling me] or [people are trampling me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שְׁאָפַ֣⁠נִי אֱנ֑וֹשׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: to,choirmaster on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dove_of silent distant of,David miktam when,seized DOM=him/it Fəlishtiy in,Gath )

David is speaking as if the Philistines were actually trampling on him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, here and in the next verse. Alternate translation: [men are harassing me] or [people are harassing me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כָּל־הַ֝⁠יּ֗וֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: to,choirmaster on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dove_of silent distant of,David miktam when,seized DOM=him/it Fəlishtiy in,Gath )

David is using the term day to mean “time,” since time consists of days. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, here and in verses 2 and 5. Alternate translation: [All the time] or [Continually]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

לֹחֵ֥ם יִלְחָצֵֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: to,choirmaster on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in dove_of silent distant of,David miktam when,seized DOM=him/it Fəlishtiy in,Gath )

The words fighting and oppresses together express a single idea. David is using the word fighting to tell in what way man (representing his human opponents) oppresses him. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [he oppresses me hostilely] or [they oppress me hostilely]
