Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֵ֤ין יְֽשׁוּעָ֓תָה לּ֬וֹ בֵֽאלֹהִ֬ים
(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH what many foes,my many rising against,me )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Surely God will not save him”
Note 2 topic: translate-transliterate
סֶֽלָה
(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH what many foes,my many rising against,me )
This is the first instance of the Hebrew word Selah, the meaning of which is unknown. The Septuagint translates the term as διάψαλμα (diapsalma), meaning “musical interlude.” Your translation team should decide if you will (1) transliterate Selah or (2) omit Selah or (3) follow the Septuagint and translate something like “pause” into your language.
