Note 1 topic: translate-alternativereadings
וַיְמֹ֣דֶד
and,he_shook
The word translated as measured is understood in two different ways by Bible scholars. This could mean: (1) God measured out the earth, surveying its full extent. Alternate translation: [he measured the earth] or (2) God shook the earth. Alternate translation: [he shook the earth]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַיִּתְפֹּֽצְצוּ֙ הַרְרֵי־עַ֔ד שַׁח֖וּ גִּבְע֣וֹת עוֹלָ֑ם
(Some words not found in UHB: stood and,he_shook earth/land looked and,he_has_made_jump nations and,they_have_been_shattered mountains_of until collapsed hills_of ancient ways_of ancient to=him/it )
See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [The most ancient mountains crumbled]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַיִּתְפֹּֽצְצוּ֙ הַרְרֵי־עַ֔ד
(Some words not found in UHB: stood and,he_shook earth/land looked and,he_has_made_jump nations and,they_have_been_shattered mountains_of until collapsed hills_of ancient ways_of ancient to=him/it )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God shattered the eternal mountains]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הֲלִיכ֥וֹת עוֹלָ֖ם לֽוֹ
ways_of ancient to=him/it
The author is speaking of God’s goings as if God’s ways of acting were physical journeys. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [His ways are everlasting]

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.
