בַּ⁠מָּ֣וֶת

(Some words not found in UHB: return, YHWH rescue, life_of,my save,me because_of loyalty_of,your_covenant )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [when someone has died]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

זִכְרֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: return, YHWH rescue, life_of,my save,me because_of loyalty_of,your_covenant )

Here, remembrance represents praise or honor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [praise of you]

כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין בַּ⁠מָּ֣וֶת זִכְרֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: return, YHWH rescue, life_of,my save,me because_of loyalty_of,your_covenant )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of remembrance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [For in death people cannot remember you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

בִּ֝⁠שְׁא֗וֹל מִ֣י יֽוֹדֶה־לָּֽ⁠ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: return, YHWH rescue, life_of,my save,me because_of loyalty_of,your_covenant )

David uses this question to emphasize that no one in Sheol thanks God. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for this purpose, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [No one in Sheol will give you thanks!] or [The dead cannot praise you!]
