UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כָּלָ֥ה שְׁאֵרִ֗⁠י וּ⁠לְבָ֫בִ֥⁠י

fail flesh,my and,heart,my

The author is referring to his entire body as if it were his flesh and he is referring to his mind and/or spirit (specifically the morale of his mind and/or spirit) as if his mind and/or spirit were his heart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly or use an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “I may become physically and emotionally weak” or “My body and my mind may fail” or “My body and my spirit may fail”

כָּלָ֥ה שְׁאֵרִ֗⁠י וּ⁠לְבָ֫בִ֥⁠י צוּר־לְבָבִ֥⁠י וְ⁠חֶלְקִ֗⁠י אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְ⁠עוֹלָֽם

fail flesh,my and,heart,my strength heart,my and,portion,my ʼElohīm to,forever

Alternate translation: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart forever”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

צוּר־לְבָבִ֥⁠י וְ⁠חֶלְקִ֗⁠י אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְ⁠עוֹלָֽם

strength heart,my and,portion,my ʼElohīm to,forever

The author is speaking of God as if God were a rock. The term rock is associated with strength here so by calling God the rock of his heart he means that God is the “strength” of his heart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with a simile or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but God, you are like a rock for my heart and you are my portion forever” or “but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”
