(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH Lord,our what majestic name,your in=all the=earth/land which/who set, glory,your on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=heavens )
Out of the mouth of children and nursing ones is placed at the front of the sentence here to help create a strong sense of surprise that this weak thing would be the means that Yahweh uses to establish strength. Consider using a poetic method in your language to make the connection of the weak and strong surprising.

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Because of your adversaries you have established strength out of the mouth of children and nursing ones”

Here, mouth represents the babies’ crying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “From the crying of”

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH Lord,our what majestic name,your in=all the=earth/land which/who set, glory,your on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=heavens )
The two words translated children and nursing ones may express a single idea. The word nursing further describes the age or state of thechildren. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: “nursing babies”

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH Lord,our what majestic name,your in=all the=earth/land which/who set, glory,your on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=heavens )
The Hebrew reads “strength.” The ULT follows that reading. The ancient Greek translation reads “praise.” The Greek version is quoted in Matthew 21:16. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH Lord,our what majestic name,your in=all the=earth/land which/who set, glory,your on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=heavens )
Because the word translated established is strongly associated with making a building, here, strength probably represents a fortress (a strong building that can be defended easily). Kings or Lords, as Yahweh is depicted in verse 1, often built fortresses to protect their domains and 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: “a building that is easy to defend”

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH Lord,our what majestic name,your in=all the=earth/land which/who set, glory,your on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=heavens )
Because of the parallelism between verse 2 and verse 4, children and nursing ones may represent all of humanity (as weak and helpless people needing Yahweh’s protection). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “even the weakest humans”

Here, to marks cause the enemy and avenger to end as the goal or purpose of establishing strength. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose.

The two words enemy and avenger may express a single idea. The word avenger further describes the enemy. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: “vengeful enemy”
