OET interlinear PSA 7:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

יְהוָה֮ יָדִ֪ין עַ֫מִּ֥ים שָׁפְטֵ֥⁠נִי יְהוָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,an_assembly_of peoples may,it_surround_you and,over,it to,height return, )

The word adjudicate is used to show that in the original two different words meaning judge are used. If you have two terms in your language, you can use two; if not, you can use the same term twice. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, judge the peoples! Judge me, Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שָׁפְטֵ֥⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: and,an_assembly_of peoples may,it_surround_you and,over,it to,height return, )

The implication is that Yahweh will find the psalmist innocent. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Judge me innocent]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כְּ⁠צִדְקִ֖⁠י וּ⁠כְ⁠תֻמִּ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,an_assembly_of peoples may,it_surround_you and,over,it to,height return, )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of righteousness and integrity, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [according to how I live rightly and according to how I live honestly]

עָלָֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,an_assembly_of peoples may,it_surround_you and,over,it to,height return, )

This could be: (1) a title for Yahweh. Alternate translation: [O you, Above All] (2) a clause locating the author’s righteousness and integrity in himself. Alternate translation: [which is in me]
