OET interlinear PSA 56:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

סָפַ֪רְתָּ֫ה אָ֥תָּה

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in crime escape (to),them in,anger peoples throw_down ʼElohīm )

David is stating the pronoun you separately, even though the verb translated as you record already includes this meaning. He is doing that in order to emphasize a contrast between what his enemies are doing to try to harm him and what God is doing to watch over him and care for him. Alternate translation: [But for your part, you record]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נֹדִ⁠י֮ סָפַ֪רְתָּ֫ה

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in crime escape (to),them in,anger peoples throw_down ʼElohīm )

David is speaking as if God had actually recorded his wandering, that is, as if God had written down that at this point David had left Israel to live among the Philistines. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you are aware of my wandering]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שִׂ֣ימָ⁠ה דִמְעָתִ֣⁠י בְ⁠נֹאדֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in crime escape (to),them in,anger peoples throw_down ʼElohīm )

David is speaking as if God actually had a leather bag that held fluids, such as people in this culture used to hold water or wine when traveling through arid regions, and that he wanted God to put his tears in it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Keep my tears close to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שִׂ֣ימָ⁠ה דִמְעָתִ֣⁠י בְ⁠נֹאדֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in crime escape (to),them in,anger peoples throw_down ʼElohīm )

David is using his tears to represent the sorrows he has experienced. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Always be mindful of my sorrows]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ֝⁠לֹ֗א בְּ⁠סִפְרָתֶֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in crime escape (to),them in,anger peoples throw_down ʼElohīm )

David is using the question form to make a confident affirmation. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [After all, they are in your record.]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֲ֝⁠לֹ֗א בְּ⁠סִפְרָתֶֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in crime escape (to),them in,anger peoples throw_down ʼElohīm )

Earlier in this verse, David portrays God as recording the details of his wandering. Here he speaks as if God had actually written in that record about the tears he has shed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [After all, you are aware of them]
