OET interlinear PSA 89:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

זְכֹ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָ⁠י חֶרְפַּ֣ת עֲבָדֶ֑י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: where covenant_loyalti(es)_of,[are]_your (the),former my=master swore to,David in,faithfulness_of,your )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as ‘please’ to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

חֶרְפַּ֣ת עֲבָדֶ֑י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: where covenant_loyalti(es)_of,[are]_your (the),former my=master swore to,David in,faithfulness_of,your )

Ethan is using the possessive form to describe the reproach that is directed against God’s servants. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [how people reproach your servants]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֶרְפַּ֣ת

(Some words not found in UHB: where covenant_loyalti(es)_of,[are]_your (the),former my=master swore to,David in,faithfulness_of,your )

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

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

שְׂאֵתִ֥⁠י בְ֝⁠חֵיקִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: where covenant_loyalti(es)_of,[are]_your (the),former my=master swore to,David in,faithfulness_of,your )

Ethan shifts from the plural your servants to the singular my because he is now speaking of his own personal experience of bearing the insults. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this shift explicit. Alternate translation: [how I carry in my heart]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ֝⁠חֵיקִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: where covenant_loyalti(es)_of,[are]_your (the),former my=master swore to,David in,faithfulness_of,your )

Here, in my bosom represents bearing a heavy burden personally and intimately. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [within myself]
