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]

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]
