UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לָ֤⁠מָּה תָשִׁ֣יב יָ֭דְ⁠ךָ וִֽ⁠ימִינֶ֑⁠ךָ

to/for=what hold_back hand_of,your and,right_hand_of,your

Here, God’s hand is associated with action and the phrase right hand further describes the first mention of God’s hand and describes God’s hand as being his right hand which was associated with power in that culture. The psalmist is asking God to powerfully intervene on behalf of his people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Why do you refuse to intervene and help us with your great strength?” or “Why do you refuse to intervene and help us with your great power?”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

from,folds_of (Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what hold_back hand_of,your and,right_hand_of,your from,folds_of bosom_of,your destroy )

The psalmist is speaking as if God literally had a hand tucked within the fold of a garment. He means that it feels as if God is choosing not to take action. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with a simile, with an equivalent expression from your culture, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Your inaction feels like you have your hand within the fold of your garment. Please take action and destroy our enemies”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

The author is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If your readers might misunderstand this, you could supply these words from the context as modeled by the ULT.
