UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מָע֣וֹז

stronghold

Here Solomon refers to the way of Yahweh protecting people as if it were a stronghold. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Protection”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ֭⁠תֹּם & אָֽוֶן

for_the,upright & evil

See how you translated the abstract nouns integrity in 1:3 and iniquity in 6:12.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֑ה

road/way_of YHWH

Here, way refers to what Yahweh does, or his behavior. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is what Yahweh does” or “is the behavior of Yahweh”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ֝⁠מְחִתָּ֗ה

and,ruin

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but the way of Yahweh is ruin”
