UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַלְכִּ֣⁠י

king_of,my

Though the psalmist refers to God as my king here, it is likely that he is expressing that God is the king of every person who belongs to the nation of Israel. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly as modeled by the UST.

מִ⁠קֶּ֑דֶם

from=east

See how you translated the phrase ancient times in [74:2](../74/02.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

פֹּעֵ֥ל יְ֝שׁוּע֗וֹת

working salvation

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as “save,” or in some other way that is natural. Alternate translation: “doing many mighty things to save your people”
