Here, name represents “reputation.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [your reputation]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת אֱלֹהִ֖ים עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

to=say YHWH armies/messengers ʼElohīm on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: so,that_it_may_be_great name_of,your until forever to=say YHWH armies/messengers ʼElohīm on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,the_house_of your_servant_of,your Dāvid will_belong established before,,you )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [as people say that you, Yahweh of Armies, are God over Israel]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר

to=say

The term saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. (In some languages, it may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly.) Alternate translation: [so that people will say]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠בֵית֙ עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֣ דָוִ֔ד יִהְיֶ֥ה נָכ֖וֹן

and,the_house_of (Some words not found in UHB: so,that_it_may_be_great name_of,your until forever to=say YHWH armies/messengers ʼElohīm on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,the_house_of your_servant_of,your Dāvid will_belong established before,,you )

The expression will be established is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and you will establish the house of your servant David]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠בֵית֙

and,the_house_of

See how you translated the similar expression in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [and the dynasty of]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְ⁠פָנֶֽי⁠ךָ

before,,you

This could mean: (1) that David is using one part of Yahweh, his face, to mean all of him in the act of maintaining the rule of David and his descendants. The idea is that Yahweh would be watching them and protecting them. Alternate translation: [as you maintain it]; (2) that David is using Yahweh’s face to represent his presence. Alternate translation: [in your presence]
