OET (OET-LV) And I_heard something like the_voice of_a_crowd great, and as the_sound of_waters many, and like a_sound of_thunders mighty saying:
Praise_Yāh, because reigned the_master, the god of_us the almighty.
OET (OET-RV) Then I heard what sounded like a large crowd and what seemed to be the sounds of lots of water and of powerful thunder, saying, “Praise Yahweh, because our God, the powerful master, reigns.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὡς φωνὴν ὄχλου πολλοῦ, καὶ ὡς φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν, καὶ ὡς φωνὴν βροντῶν ἰσχυρῶν
like /the/_voice ˱of˲_/a/_crowd great and as /the/_sound ˱of˲_waters many and like /a/_sound ˱of˲_thunders mighty
The point of this comparison is that the sound was very loud. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “a sound that was very loud, like the sound of a great crowd or many waters or powerful thunder”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὑδάτων πολλῶν
˱of˲_waters many
By many waters, John could mean a loud waterfall or raging floodwaters. See how you translated the similar expression in 1:15. Alternate translation: “of a waterfall” or “of raging floodwaters”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῶν
˱of˲_us
The person speaking here is likely continuing to address those who serve and fear God. So by our, the speaker means himself and them, so use the inclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
19:1-10 This section expands the message of the sixth song of response (18:20; see study note on 18:1-24), which called for rejoicing. Various groups direct praises to the Lord. The praises can be divided into two sections: thankfulness for the destruction of the evildoers (19:1-4) and thankfulness for the reward of God’s people (19:5-8).

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.
