OET interlinear PSA 69:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

יִ֭מָּחֽוּ מִ⁠סֵּ֣פֶר חַיִּ֑ים וְ⁠עִ֥ם צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים אַל־יִכָּתֵֽבוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: put, guilt on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in iniquity_of,their and,not they_went in,righteousness_of,your )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then 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: [Please wipe them from the book of the living, and do not let them be written with the righteous]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִ֭מָּחֽוּ מִ⁠סֵּ֣פֶר חַיִּ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: put, guilt on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in iniquity_of,their and,not they_went in,righteousness_of,your )

The expression Let them be wiped from the book of the living 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: [Let God wipe them from the book of the living]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

David is speaking of the book of the living as if it were a record that God keeps listing the names of all people who have eternal life.
