Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָ֭שׁוּבוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: put_to_shame and,may_they_be_abashed seek_of life_of,(of)_my turned_back back and,may_they_be_humiliated desire_of my_harm_of,my )

Here David is speaking of stopping the enemies as if they were walking on a path and then were blocked or turned back. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Let them stop]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בָּשְׁתָּ֑⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: put_to_shame and,may_they_be_abashed seek_of life_of,(of)_my turned_back back and,may_they_be_humiliated desire_of my_harm_of,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of shame, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [their being ashamed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

הֶ֘אָ֥ח ׀ הֶאָֽח

(Some words not found in UHB: put_to_shame and,may_they_be_abashed seek_of life_of,(of)_my turned_back back and,may_they_be_humiliated desire_of my_harm_of,my )

David is using Aha! Aha! as a phrase that expresses a strong feeling: gloating and malicious delight at the misfortune of another person. There may be an equivalent word or phrase in your language that you can use in your translation to convey this feeling. If not, you could say what those people were feeling. Alternate translation: [We are glad he is suffering]
