UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

שִׁ֭בְעָתַיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,repay to,neighbors_of,our seven_times to/towards bosom_of,their reproach_of,their which/who they,reproached_you my=master )

Asaph says sevenfold as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [many times over]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֶל־חֵיקָ֑⁠ם

to/towards bosom_of,their

Asaph is using into their bosom as a common expression to mean “directly and personally to them.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [directly upon them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤⁠ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר חֵרְפ֣וּ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,repay to,neighbors_of,our seven_times to/towards bosom_of,their reproach_of,their which/who they,reproached_you my=master )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could put the object their reproach with which they have reproached you before the other information in the sentence, so that the reader understands right away what is to be returned. Alternate translation: [And return their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord, to our neighbors sevenfold, into their bosom]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,repay to,neighbors_of,our seven_times to/towards bosom_of,their reproach_of,their which/who they,reproached_you my=master )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of reproach, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the insults they have spoken]
