Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
בְּנֵ֥י נֵכָ֖ר
(Some words not found in UHB: sons_of foreign came_cringing to=me to_[the],hearing ear obey to=me )
David is not referring to a specific foreigner. He means foreigners in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Sons of foreigners]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְּנֵ֥י נֵכָ֖ר
(Some words not found in UHB: sons_of foreign came_cringing to=me to_[the],hearing ear obey to=me )
In certain contexts, biblical authors and characters use the common expression of their culture Sons of to indicate that a person has a certain characteristic. In this case, these people have the characteristic of being foreigners or people from other nations. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly, here and in the next verse. Alternate translation: [Foreigners]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לִשְׁמ֥וֹעַ אֹ֖זֶן
(Some words not found in UHB: sons_of foreign came_cringing to=me to_[the],hearing ear obey to=me )
David is using one part of a person, the ear to represent entire people in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [When they hear]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לִשְׁמ֥וֹעַ אֹ֖זֶן
(Some words not found in UHB: sons_of foreign came_cringing to=me to_[the],hearing ear obey to=me )
David means that these people hear specifically about him. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [When they hear about me]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִשָּׁ֥מְעוּ לִֽי
(Some words not found in UHB: sons_of foreign came_cringing to=me to_[the],hearing ear obey to=me )
By they hear me, David means that they obey him. (The meaning of hear in this context is similar to the meaning of “listen” in [12:18](../12/18.md).) You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they obey me]
