if (Some words not found in UHB: if this says good safe [belongs]_to,servant_of,your and=if to_be_angry becomes_angry to=him/it know that/for/because/then/when determined (the),harm from,with,him )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [If he says that is all right]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

שָׁל֣וֹם לְ⁠עַבְדֶּ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: if this says good safe [belongs]_to,servant_of,your and=if to_be_angry becomes_angry to=him/it know that/for/because/then/when determined (the),harm from,with,him )

David is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [peace is to me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שָׁל֣וֹם לְ⁠עַבְדֶּ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: if this says good safe [belongs]_to,servant_of,your and=if to_be_angry becomes_angry to=him/it know that/for/because/then/when determined (the),harm from,with,him )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [I am safe]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

חָרֹ֤ה יֶֽחֱרֶה֙ ל֔⁠וֹ

to_be_angry becomes_angry to=him/it

David is repeating forms of the verb “burn” in order to intensify his expression of the idea it conveys. If your language can use repetition for emphatic effect, it would be appropriate to do so here. Alternate translation: [it indeed burns to him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

חָרֹ֤ה יֶֽחֱרֶה֙ ל֔⁠וֹ

to_be_angry becomes_angry to=him/it

See how you translated the similar expression in 18:8. Alternate translation: [he indeed becomes very angry]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָלְתָ֥ה הָ⁠רָעָ֖ה מֵ⁠עִמּֽ⁠וֹ

determined (the),harm from,with,him

David is using a common expression of his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he has determined to harm me]
