Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מִ⁠פַּ֣חַד לָ֑יְלָה מֵ֝⁠חֵ֗ץ יָע֥וּף יוֹמָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: not fear from_[the],dread_of night from,an_arrow flies by_day )

The psalmist is using things that might happen at night and during the day to mean things that might happen at any time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [of any dangers that might harm you at any time]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מִ⁠פַּ֣חַד לָ֑יְלָה

(Some words not found in UHB: not fear from_[the],dread_of night from,an_arrow flies by_day )

The psalmist is using this possessive form to describe something that might happen during the night that would cause a person to feel terror. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [of terrifying things that might happen during the night]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מֵ֝⁠חֵ֗ץ יָע֥וּף יוֹמָֽם

from,an_arrow flies by_day

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be helpful in your language. Alternate translation: [and you will not be afraid of the arrow that flies by day]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מֵ֝⁠חֵ֗ץ יָע֥וּף יוֹמָֽם

from,an_arrow flies by_day

The psalmist is speaking of how an arrow … flies without indicating that this is the result of someone shooting it from a bow. This may create the impression that an arrow is a living thing that can fly on its own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate the agent who is responsible for the arrow flying. Alternate translation: [of an arrow that someone might shoot at you]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מֵ֝⁠חֵ֗ץ יָע֥וּף יוֹמָֽם

from,an_arrow flies by_day

The psalmist is using one type of weapon, an arrow, to mean weapons in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of any weapon that someone might use to try to harm you]
