uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בָשָׂ֣ר הֵ֑מָּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_remembered that/for/because/then/when flesh/meat they(emph) wind passes and=not return )

Here, flesh represents the weakness and frailty of human nature. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they were weak and frail] or [they were mortal]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ר֥וּחַ ה֝וֹלֵ֗ךְ וְ⁠לֹ֣א יָשֽׁוּב

wind passes and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_remembered that/for/because/then/when flesh/meat they(emph) wind passes and=not return )

The psalmist is speaking of human beings as if they were a wind going and it does not return. He means that human life is brief and fragile, like a wind that blows by once and then is gone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [mortal beings whose lives quickly end]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
