(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies_of,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence_of,you )

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣⁠י וְ⁠דִינִ֑⁠י & שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies_of,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence_of,you )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of justice, claim and righteousness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “For you have answered me justly when I petitioned in your court … a righteous judge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣⁠י וְ⁠דִינִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies_of,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence_of,you )

The two words justice and claim may express a single idea. The word justice tells how Yahweh views the author’s legal claim. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: “you have ruled that my claim is just” or “you have answered my just claim”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝⁠כִסֵּ֗א

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies_of,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence_of,you )

Here, throne represents kingship. Kings had authority to judge people, and they would sit on their throne when they judged. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you are like a king who judged his people from his throne” or “you are a king”

יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝⁠כִסֵּ֗א שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies_of,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence_of,you )

Alternate translation: “you are like a royal judge who always issues correct judgements from his throne” or “you sit on your judgment throne and judge righteously”
