Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

5:8-9 Amos quotes a second hymn fragment (see 4:13; 9:5-6). Once again, the prophet emphasizes the contrast between the cosmic God and the local gods.
• Stars, celestial bodies, and constellations such as Pleiades and Orion were regarded as deities in the ancient world. Not so, says Amos; the Lord made them and placed them in the sky.
• water: The ancients had observed a process that they did not understand (evaporation and condensation). However, the Lord understands and controls natural processes that seem mysterious to humans.

(Occurrence 0) the Pleiades and Orion
(Some words not found in UHB: made pleiades and,orion and,turns into_the,morning deep_darkness and,day night darkens the,calls for,waters 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 )
People saw patterns in the stars in the sky and gave names to them. These are two of those patterns. Alternate translation: “the stars” or “the groups of stars”
(Occurrence 0) he turns darkness into the morning … day dark with night
(Some words not found in UHB: made pleiades and,orion and,turns into_the,morning deep_darkness and,day night darkens the,calls for,waters 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 )
“he makes the night become morning, and he makes the day become night.” This refers to causing the times of the day.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) calls for the waters … on the surface of the earth
(Some words not found in UHB: made pleiades and,orion and,turns into_the,morning deep_darkness and,day night darkens the,calls for,waters 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. 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!

By declaring his name, Yahweh is declaring his power and authority to do these things.
