uW Translation Notes:

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_have_given to=me shield_of your_salvation_of,your and,answering,your you,make_me_great )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [And the shield you provide for me saves me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠תִּתֶּן־לִ֖⁠י מָגֵ֣ן יִשְׁעֶ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_have_given to=me shield_of your_salvation_of,your and,answering,your you,make_me_great )

Here David is speaking of God’s power to save him as if it were a shield that could protect him from physical attacks. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you protect me by saving me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠עֲנֹתְ⁠ךָ֖

and,answering,your

By your answer, David means God’s response to his prayers requesting help. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and your answer to my prayers]
