OET (OET-RV) He builds his steps in the heavens,
⇔ ≈and has established his vault over the earth.
⇔ He calls for the waters of the sea,
⇔ and pours them out on the earth’s surface,
⇔ Yahweh is his name.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) he who builds his steps in the heavens
(Some words not found in UHB: the,builds in=the_heavens upper_chambers_of,his and,foundation_of_~_vault_of,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in earth/land lays,her the,calls for,waters_of the=sea and,pours_~_out,them on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=earth/land YHWH his/its=name )
These are probably the steps that ancient people imagined led up to God’s palace in the heavens. However, some modern versions wish to read a different Hebrew word meaning “palace” or “rooms.” Here “his steps” probably is a metonym for God’s palace.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) has established his vault over the earth
(Some words not found in UHB: the,builds in=the_heavens upper_chambers_of,his and,foundation_of_~_vault_of,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in earth/land lays,her the,calls for,waters_of the=sea and,pours_~_out,them on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=earth/land YHWH his/its=name )
Here “vault” refers to the sky which biblical writers described as being a dome over the earth. Alternate translation: “he sets the sky over the earth”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) He calls for the waters of the sea … on the surface of the earth
(Some words not found in UHB: the,builds in=the_heavens upper_chambers_of,his and,foundation_of_~_vault_of,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in earth/land lays,her the,calls for,waters_of the=sea and,pours_~_out,them on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=earth/land YHWH his/its=name )
This represents God causing the sea water to fall on the earth as rain. See how you translated this in [Amos 5:8](../05/08.md). Alternate translation: “He takes the waters of the sea and makes them rain down on the surface of the earth”
(Occurrence 0) Yahweh is his name
(Some words not found in UHB: the,builds in=the_heavens upper_chambers_of,his and,foundation_of_~_vault_of,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in earth/land lays,her the,calls for,waters_of the=sea and,pours_~_out,them on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=earth/land YHWH his/its=name )
By declaring his name, Yahweh is declaring his power and authority to do these things. See how you translated this in [Amos 5:8](../05/08.md).
9:5-6 Amos uses a third hymn fragment (also 4:13; 5:8-9) to remind Israel that God’s domain is universal.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
