UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Some words not found in UHB: kept_silent from=long_ago/eternity kept_still restrained like_a,woman_in_labor cry_out gasp and,pant together )

These two lines share similar meanings. Yahweh’s inactivity is described as quietness and stillness.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) I have been still and restrained myself

(Some words not found in UHB: kept_silent from=long_ago/eternity kept_still restrained like_a,woman_in_labor cry_out gasp and,pant together )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing and indicate that Yahweh has kept himself from acting. Alternate translation: “I have kept myself from doing anything”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

(Occurrence 0) I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant

(Some words not found in UHB: kept_silent from=long_ago/eternity kept_still restrained like_a,woman_in_labor cry_out gasp and,pant together )

Yahweh’s activity as a shouting warrior is compared with a pregnant woman who cries from labor pains. This emphasizes sudden unavoidable action after a period of inactivity.
