uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠אַתָּ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) my=master god compassionate and,gracious slow_of anger and,great_of steadfast_love and,faithfulness )

David uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between the enemies described in the previous verse and Yahweh’s character. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [However, you, Lord]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

אֵל־רַח֣וּם וְ⁠חַנּ֑וּן

god compassionate and,gracious

The terms merciful and gracious mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [very compassionate]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֶ֥רֶךְ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם

slow_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) my=master god compassionate and,gracious slow_of anger and,great_of steadfast_love and,faithfulness )

David is using long of nostrils as a common expression to mean “slow to become angry.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [slow to anger]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠רַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶ⁠אֱמֶֽת

and,great_of steadfast_love and,faithfulness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of covenant faithfulness and truth, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [and being so very faithful to your covenant and being truthful]
