UTN uW Translation Notes:

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,his and,foundation_of_~_vault,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in earth/land lays,her 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 )

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

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

This represents God causing the sea water to fall on the earth as rain. See how you translated this in Amos 5:8. 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. See how you translated this in Amos 5:8.
