OET interlinear PSA 71:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

חָסִ֑יתִי

taken_refuge

David is speaking of Yahweh as if he were a safe place where David could take refuge. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could express this as a comparison. Alternate translation: [I find safety]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

אַל־אֵב֥וֹשָׁה לְ⁠עוֹלָֽם

not (Some words not found in UHB: in,you YHWH taken_refuge not put_to_shame forever,perpetuity )

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 never let me have shame]
