(Some words not found in UHB: and,you,girded_me strength for,battle sink [those_of,who]_rose_against_me under,me )

Here David is speaking of valor as if it were a piece of clothing with which God girds him, like a belt or piece of armor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And you make me valiant]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

תַּכְרִ֥יעַ קָמַ֖⁠י תַּחְתֵּֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you,girded_me strength for,battle sink [those_of,who]_rose_against_me under,me )

David means that people who try to rebel against him ultimately bow down as a symbolic action by which they show renewed submission to his authority. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [you make the ones rising up under me submit humbly to my authority]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

קָמַ֖⁠י תַּחְתֵּֽ⁠נִי

[those_of,who]_rose_against_me (Some words not found in UHB: and,you,girded_me strength for,battle sink [those_of,who]_rose_against_me under,me )

David is using the ones rising up under me as a common expression of his culture to mean “those who rebel against my rule.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ones revolting against my rule]
