MSG ^(1-11)“Or can you pull in the sea beast, Leviathan, with a fly rod
  and stuff him in your creel?
Can you lasso him with a rope,
  or snag him with an anchor?
Will he beg you over and over for mercy,
  or flatter you with flowery speech?
Will he apply for a job with you
  to run errands and serve you the rest of your life?
Will you play with him as if he were a pet goldfish?
  Will you make him the mascot of the neighborhood children?
Will you put him on display in the market
  and have shoppers haggle over the price?
Could you shoot him full of arrows like a pin cushion,
  or drive harpoons into his huge head?
If you so much as lay a hand on him,
  you won’t live to tell the story.
What hope would you have with such a creature?
  Why, one look at him would do you in!
If you can’t hold your own against his glowering visage,
  how, then, do you expect to stand up to me?
Who could confront me and get by with it?
  I’m in charge of all this—I run this universe!

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֣י הִ֭קְדִּימַ⁠נִי וַ⁠אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: from,mouth,his flaming_torches go sparks fire shoot_out )

Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “No one has anticipated me, that I should repay!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הִ֭קְדִּימַ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: from,mouth,his flaming_torches go sparks fire shoot_out )

The word translated anticipated means to arrive somewhere before someone else, but it has the implication of making arrangements to help that other person when he arrives. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “has helped me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

תַּ֖חַת כָּל־הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם לִ⁠י־הֽוּא

(Some words not found in UHB: from,mouth,his flaming_torches go sparks fire shoot_out )

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Everything under the whole sky belongs to me”
