UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נָתַ֣תָּה שִׂמְחָ֣ה בְ⁠לִבִּ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: many asking who? show,us good lift_up, upon,us light face_of,your YHWH )

Here, the phrase put joy in my heart represents that the author’s emotional state is joyful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You have made me happy”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

נָתַ֣תָּה שִׂמְחָ֣ה בְ⁠לִבִּ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: many asking who? show,us good lift_up, upon,us light face_of,your YHWH )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “You have made me glad”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דְּגָנָ֖⁠ם וְ⁠תִֽירוֹשָׁ֣⁠ם רָֽבּוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: many asking who? show,us good lift_up, upon,us light face_of,your YHWH )

Here, grain and new wine represent basic food necessities. An abundance of them represents material prosperity. If these would not represent basic foods and prosperity in your culture, you may consider using items that have the same implication from your own culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they have a lot of bread and fresh milk” or “they are quite rich”

Note 4 topic: writing-poetry

In Hebrew, this verse uses progressively shortening lines and repeated sounds to create a sense of peaceful rest. Consider if there is a way in your language to create the same sensation.
