1.8 KiB
your ... you
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. AT: "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. AT: "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)
He satisfies your life with good things
The phrase "your life" refers to "you," but it emphasizes that Yahweh gives blessings throughout life. AT: "He satisfies you with good things through your life" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
your youth is renewed like the eagle
Having your "youth renewed" means to feel young again. Here David compares this feeling of youth to the swiftness and strength of an eagle. AT: "you feel young and are strong like an eagle" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
your youth
The word "youth" refers to the strength one had as a young adult. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
