UTN uW Translation Notes:

Though they curse me

(Some words not found in UHB: curse they(emph) and=you(ms) bless arise and,put_to_shame and,servant_of,your glad )

The word “they” refers to the people who accuse David and say bad things about him.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

may they be put to shame

(Some words not found in UHB: curse they(emph) and=you(ms) bless arise and,put_to_shame and,servant_of,your glad )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “may they be ashamed” or “let them be ashamed”

but may your servant rejoice

(Some words not found in UHB: curse they(emph) and=you(ms) bless arise and,put_to_shame and,servant_of,your glad )

“but may I, your servant, rejoice” or “I am your servant, let me rejoice.” David uses the phrase “your servant” to refer to himself.
