David is speaking to himself, so he uses the words "your" and "you" to refer to himself. Many translations express this with "my" and "me" as the UDB does.

# He redeems your life from destruction

This means that Yahweh keeps him alive. Alternate translation: "He saves me from dying" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy
|

Here blessing someone and treating them with great honor is described as if it were placing a crown on that person's head. The abstract nouns "faithfulness" and "mercy" can be translated with adverbs. Alternate translation: "he blesses you by acting faithfully and mercifully towards you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
