מָעוּזִּ֖י חָ֑יִל
(Some words not found in UHB: (the),God place_of_refuge_of, strong and,he_has_set_free entire/complete/moral דרכ,ו )
David is using the possessive form to describe a fortress that is characterized by strength. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [is my strong fortress]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מָעוּזִּ֖י חָ֑יִל
(Some words not found in UHB: (the),God place_of_refuge_of, strong and,he_has_set_free entire/complete/moral דרכ,ו )
Here David is speaking as if God were actually a fortress of strength. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [keeps me entirely safe]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַיַּתֵּ֥ר תָּמִ֖ים דַּרְכִּֽי
(Some words not found in UHB: (the),God place_of_refuge_of, strong and,he_has_set_free entire/complete/moral דרכ,ו )
This could mean: (1) that God makes the way on which a person travels perfect, that is, free from obstacles. Alternate translation: [and he removes all the obstacles in my path] or [and he enables me to live the life he has chosen for me without hindrance]; (2) that David is speaking of how a person lives as if that were a way or path that the person was walking along. Alternate translation: [and he enables me to live in just the way that he wants people to live]
