UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

Rescue me from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of this world

(Some words not found in UHB: from,men hand,your YHWH from,men of,world portion,whose in/on/at/with,life and,treasure,you fill bellies,their satisfied children and,leave abundance,their to,children,their )

This clause adds intensity to the words “Rescue my life from the wicked by your sword” (Psalms 17:13).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

by your hand

These words represent the power of Yahweh and add intensity to the words “by your sword” (Psalms 17:13).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

You will fill the bellies of your treasured ones with riches

The ancient text is hard to understand. This could mean: (1) “treasured” is a metaphor for loved, and “your treasured ones” refers to the people whom God loves. Alternate translation: “you will fill the bellies of the people you love with riches” or (2) “your treasured ones” refers to treasures that God gives to people, the “men of this world” Alternate translation: “you will fill their bellies with rich treasures”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

You will fill the bellies & with riches

Here “fill the bellies … with riches” is a metaphor for giving them many valuable things. This could mean: (1) “You will give many riches to the people you love” or (2) “you will give the men of this world many riches”
