WMBB (Same as above including footnotes)

MSG ^(5-14)“All the buried dead are in torment,
  and all who’ve been drowned in the deep, deep sea.
Hell is ripped open before God,
  graveyards dug up and exposed.
He spreads the skies over unformed space,
  hangs the earth out in empty space.
He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags
  and the bags don’t burst.
He makes the moon wax and wane,
  putting it through its phases.
He draws the horizon out over the ocean,
  sets a boundary between light and darkness.
Thunder crashes and rumbles in the skies.
  Listen! It’s God raising his voice!
By his power he stills sea storms,
  by his wisdom he tames sea monsters.
With one breath he clears the sky,
  with one finger he crushes the sea serpent.
And this is only the beginning,
  a mere whisper of his rule.
  Whatever would we do if he really raised his voice!”

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑⁠וֹ

naked sheol before,him

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the pronoun him in this verse refers to God, as do the pronouns “he,” “him,” and “his” throughout the chapter. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, here and at selected other places in the chapter. Alternate translation: “Sheol is naked before God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עָר֣וֹם שְׁא֣וֹל נֶגְדּ֑⁠וֹ

naked sheol before,him

Job is speaking of Sheol as if it were literally not wearing any clothing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Sheol is open before God” or “God can look right into Sheol”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

וְ⁠אֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽ⁠אֲבַדּֽוֹן

and,no covering has_THE,abaddon

The word Abaddon, which means “destruction,” is another name for Sheol.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אֵ֥ין כְּ֝ס֗וּת לָֽ⁠אֲבַדּֽוֹן

and,no covering has_THE,abaddon

Job is speaking as if it might be possible to put an actual covering over Abaddon to keep God from seeing into it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and nothing keeps God from seeing into Abaddon”
