Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

מַ֭לְּפֵ⁠נוּ מִ⁠בַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּ⁠מֵ⁠ע֖וֹף הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽ⁠נוּ

teaches,us more_than,animals earth and,than,birds the=heavens makes_~_wiser,us

If you decided in the previous verse to translate this quotation in such a way that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: “the one teaching people more than the beasts of the earth, making them wiser than the birds of the heavens.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מַ֭לְּפֵ⁠נוּ מִ⁠בַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּ⁠מֵ⁠ע֖וֹף הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽ⁠נוּ

teaches,us more_than,animals earth and,than,birds the=heavens makes_~_wiser,us

In this quotation, the speaker describes beasts and birds as if they were living things that God could teach and make wise. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one who gave us more understanding than the beasts of the earth and the birds of the heavens”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

מַ֭לְּפֵ⁠נוּ & יְחַכְּמֵֽ⁠נוּ

teaches,us & makes_~_wiser,us

The speaker is using the pronoun us to mean people and thus to refer to himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
