OET interlinear PSA 69:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

הַצִּילֵ֣⁠נִי מִ֭⁠טִּיט וְ⁠אַל־אֶטְבָּ֑עָה אִנָּצְלָ֥ה מִ֝⁠שֹּֽׂנְאַ֗⁠י וּ⁠מִ⁠מַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־מָֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I prayer_of,my to/for=yourself(m) YHWH time_of acceptable ʼElohīm in,the_greatness_of your_covenant_loyalty_of,your answer,me in,the_faithfulness_of your_salvation_of,your )

These are imperatives, but they communicate polite requests rather than commands. If the imperatives do not communicate polite requests for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates polite requests. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please deliver me from the mire, and please let me not sink. Please let me be delivered from the ones hating me and from the depths of the waters]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַצִּילֵ֣⁠נִי מִ֭⁠טִּיט

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I prayer_of,my to/for=yourself(m) YHWH time_of acceptable ʼElohīm in,the_greatness_of your_covenant_loyalty_of,your answer,me in,the_faithfulness_of your_salvation_of,your )

David is speaking of his distress as if it were mire that he is stuck in. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Rescue me from my troubles]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אִנָּצְלָ֥ה מִ֝⁠שֹּֽׂנְאַ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I prayer_of,my to/for=yourself(m) YHWH time_of acceptable ʼElohīm in,the_greatness_of your_covenant_loyalty_of,your answer,me in,the_faithfulness_of your_salvation_of,your )

The expression Let me be delivered is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [Deliver me from the ones hating me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מִ⁠מַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־מָֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I prayer_of,my to/for=yourself(m) YHWH time_of acceptable ʼElohīm in,the_greatness_of your_covenant_loyalty_of,your answer,me in,the_faithfulness_of your_salvation_of,your )

David is speaking of his danger as if it were the depths of the waters that could drown him. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and from overwhelming danger]
