uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עַד־מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּסָּתֵ֣ר לָ⁠נֶ֑צַח

(Some words not found in UHB: cut_short days_of his_youth(s)_of,his covered on/upon/above=him/it shame selah )

Ethan is using the question form to express his grief and impatience at God’s prolonged withdrawal. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, this has gone on too long! You must not hide yourself forever.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תִּסָּתֵ֣ר

(Some words not found in UHB: cut_short days_of his_youth(s)_of,his covered on/upon/above=him/it shame selah )

Here Ethan is speaking as if God would physically hide himself, though he means that God has withdrawn his favor and presence. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Will you withhold your favor]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

תִּבְעַ֖ר כְּמוֹ־אֵ֣שׁ חֲמָתֶֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: cut_short days_of his_youth(s)_of,his covered on/upon/above=him/it shame selah )

The point of this comparison is that just as fire consumes intensely, so does God’s wrath consume. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [Will your wrath consume us intensely like fire]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

תִּבְעַ֖ר כְּמוֹ־אֵ֣שׁ חֲמָתֶֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: cut_short days_of his_youth(s)_of,his covered on/upon/above=him/it shame selah )

Ethan is using the question form to express his distress at God’s ongoing anger. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Your wrath burns like fire!]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֲמָתֶֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: cut_short days_of his_youth(s)_of,his covered on/upon/above=him/it shame selah )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wrath, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [how angry you are]
