Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
הוֹאֵל֙ וּבָרֵךְ֙
please and,bless
The phrase take pleasure and bless expresses a single idea. The word take pleasure tells with what attitude David hopes Yahweh will bless him and his descendants. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [gladly bless] or [may it please you to bless]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶת־בֵּ֣ית עַבְדְּךָ֔
DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=now please and,bless DOM house_of your_servant_of,your to=be forever,perpetuity to=your=face that/for/because/then/when you(ms) my=master GOD spoken and,from,blessing_of,your blessed house_of your_servant_of,your forever,perpetuity )
David is speaking here as if the dynasty Yahweh has promised him would actually be a house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the dynasty of your servant] or [my dynasty]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לְפָנֶ֑יךָ
to=your=face
See how you translated the similar expression in [7:26](../07/26.md). Alternate translation: [maintained by you] or [in your presence]

Here the word For provides not a reason but an explanation. Alternate translation: [After all]
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֞ה אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ דִּבַּ֔רְתָּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now please and,bless DOM house_of your_servant_of,your to=be forever,perpetuity to=your=face that/for/because/then/when you(ms) my=master GOD spoken and,from,blessing_of,your blessed house_of your_servant_of,your forever,perpetuity )
See how you translated the similar expression “you, you were” in [5:2](../05/02.md). Alternate translation: [For you, my Lord Yahweh, have told me this personally]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וּמִבִּרְכָ֣תְךָ֔ יְבֹרַ֥ךְ בֵּֽית־עַבְדְּךָ֖ לְעוֹלָֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now please and,bless DOM house_of your_servant_of,your to=be forever,perpetuity to=your=face that/for/because/then/when you(ms) my=master GOD spoken and,from,blessing_of,your blessed house_of your_servant_of,your forever,perpetuity )
The expression will be blessed 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 bless the house of your servant forever with your blessing]
OET (OET-LV) And_now be_willing and_bless DOM the_house_of your_servant_of_your to_be forever_perpetuity to_your_face if/because you my_master YHWH you_have_spoken and_from_blessing_of_your the_house_of it_will_be_blessed your_servant_of_your forever_perpetuity.
OET (OET-RV) Now, if it pleases you, bless your servant’s extended family forever, because you yourself, my master Yahweh, have spoken, and from your blessing, your servant’s family will be blessed forever.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
