OET interlinear PSA 59:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּֽלִי־עָ֭וֺן

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! lie_in_wait for,life_of,my attack on,me fierce not transgression_of,my and=not sin_of,my YHWH )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of iniquity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [though I have done nothing wrong]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ע֖וּרָ⁠ה לִ⁠קְרָאתִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! lie_in_wait for,life_of,my attack on,me fierce not transgression_of,my and=not sin_of,my YHWH )

David is speaking of Yahweh as if he were asleep and needed to Awake. David means that he wants Yahweh to take action and help him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture or you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Come to meet me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ע֖וּרָ⁠ה

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! lie_in_wait for,life_of,my attack on,me fierce not transgression_of,my and=not sin_of,my YHWH )

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

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. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [and please look at my situation]
