uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

טָבַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בִּ⁠יוֵ֣ן מְ֭צוּלָה

(Some words not found in UHB: save,me ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when come_up waters until soul )

David is speaking of his distress as if he had sunk in mire of depth. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am overwhelmed by my troubles]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מְ֭צוּלָה

(Some words not found in UHB: save,me ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when come_up waters until soul )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of depth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [deep places]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠אֵ֣ין מָעֳמָ֑ד

(Some words not found in UHB: save,me ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when come_up waters until soul )

David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and there is no place for me to stand]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בָּ֥אתִי בְ⁠מַעֲמַקֵּי־מַ֝֗יִם וְ⁠שִׁבֹּ֥לֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: save,me ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when come_up waters until soul )

David is speaking of his danger as if he had come into depths of waters and a flood were overwhelming him. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am in overwhelming danger, and my troubles overwhelm me]
