חֶ֣סֶד

(Some words not found in UHB: steadfast_love_of YHWH forever sing to,a_generation and,a_generation known faithfulness_of,your with,mouth_of,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of Covenant faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [The way you faithfully love]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִבָּנֶ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: steadfast_love_of YHWH forever sing to,a_generation and,a_generation known faithfulness_of,your with,mouth_of,my )

The expression will be built up is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [you will build up]

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about the heavens after the information about establishing faithfulness. Alternate translation: [you establish your faithfulness in the heavens]
