UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

the righteous

(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days_of,his law-abiding/just and,abound_of peace until no_more moon )

The adjective “righteous” can be translated as a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “righteous people”

in his days

(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days_of,his law-abiding/just and,abound_of peace until no_more moon )

This could mean: (1) “while the king rules” or (2) “as long as the righteous person lives” or “as long as the righteous people live.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

may there be an abundance of peace

(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days_of,his law-abiding/just and,abound_of peace until no_more moon )

The psalmist speaks as if peace were a physical object like food. An “abundance” is when there is much of something. This can be restated to remove the abstract nouns “abundance” and “peace.” Alternate translation: “may righteous people live peacefully” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

till the moon is no more

(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days_of,his law-abiding/just and,abound_of peace until no_more moon )
