UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

יִ֭שְׁכֹּן וְ⁠יִתְלֹנָ֑ן

lives and,spends_the_night

The terms dwells and lodges mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “It lives all the time” or “It makes its home”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

שֶׁן־סֶ֝֗לַע וּ⁠מְצוּדָֽה

crag rocky and,stronghold

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two expressions connected with and. The word stronghold describes the character of a peak of a crag. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “on the inaccessible peak of a crag”
