UTN uW Translation Notes:

Cause & come down & touch & make

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH bow heavens_of,your and,come_down touch in/on/at/with,mountains and,smoke )

These words should probably be translated as requests, not commands, since the psalmist knows that God is greater than he is.

Cause the sky to sink

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH bow heavens_of,your and,come_down touch in/on/at/with,mountains and,smoke )

This could mean: (1) tear the sky open or (2) bend the heavens like a tree branch bends when someone walks on it or as one bends a bow before shooting arrows.
