Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רְשָׁעִ֣ים

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though in_[the],heart injustice you(pl),do on_the=earth violence_of your_two's_hands_of,your(pl) you(pl),weigh_out )

The psalmist is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [Those who act wickedly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

זֹ֣רוּ & מֵ⁠רָ֑חֶם

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though in_[the],heart injustice you(pl),do on_the=earth violence_of your_two's_hands_of,your(pl) you(pl),weigh_out )

The psalmist is using turn aside from the womb as a common expression to mean “go astray from birth.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [go astray from birth] or [are wicked from the day they are born]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

תָּע֥וּ מִ֝⁠בֶּ֗טֶן

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though in_[the],heart injustice you(pl),do on_the=earth violence_of your_two's_hands_of,your(pl) you(pl),weigh_out )

The psalmist is using stray from the belly as a common expression of the culture to mean “go astray from birth.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they err from birth] or [they go astray from the day they are born]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

זֹ֣רוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים מֵ⁠רָ֑חֶם תָּע֥וּ מִ֝⁠בֶּ֗טֶן דֹּבְרֵ֥י כָזָֽב

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though in_[the],heart injustice you(pl),do on_the=earth violence_of your_two's_hands_of,your(pl) you(pl),weigh_out )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [The wicked turn aside from the womb, indeed, they stray from the belly, speaking falsehood.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

דֹּבְרֵ֥י כָזָֽב

(Some words not found in UHB: also/though in_[the],heart injustice you(pl),do on_the=earth violence_of your_two's_hands_of,your(pl) you(pl),weigh_out )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of falsehood, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [speaking lies] or [saying things that are false]
