OET (OET-LV) Mountains they_quake from_him/it and_the_hills they_melt and_it_lifted_up the_earth/land from_before_of_him and_the_world and_all those_who_dwell_of in_it.
OET (OET-RV) The mountains shake when he appears,
⇔ ≈ and the hills melt.
⇔ The ground heaves at his presence—
⇔ actually the entire world and all its residents.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְהַגְּבָע֖וֹת הִתְמֹגָ֑גוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: mountains quake from=him/it and,the,hills melt and,it_lifted_up the=earth/land from,before_of,him and_[the],world and=all live_of in,it )
The author is using extreme language of physical events to emphasize how powerful Yahweh is. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this in a non-figurative way. Alternate translation: [and the hills crumble]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
יֹ֥שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ
(Some words not found in UHB: mountains quake from=him/it and,the,hills melt and,it_lifted_up the=earth/land from,before_of,him and_[the],world and=all live_of in,it )
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply shake from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [the dwellers in it shake before his face]

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
