General Information:
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=waters god_of the,glory thunders YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters many )
The psalm shows Yahweh’s power and glory.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=waters god_of the,glory thunders YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters many )
God’s voice is louder and clearer than all other sounds and noises. It can be heard over other loud sounds such as the sound of the waters. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “When Yahweh speaks his voice is louder than the sound of the sea” or “Yahweh shouts louder than the sound of the waters”
over the waters
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=waters god_of the,glory thunders YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters many )
This refers to the seas or the oceans. These waters make a very loud noise as the waves rise and fall.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
The voice of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=waters god_of the,glory thunders YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters many )
All occurrences of “voice” here represent Yahweh speaking. The writer is emphasizing that when Yahweh speaks, the sound is so loud it is heard over the waters, and it is so powerful it can destroy the largest trees. Alternate translation: “When Yahweh speaks, his voice”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
the God of glory thunders
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=waters god_of the,glory thunders YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters many )
This speaks about God speaking as if it were the sound of thunder. Just like the sound of thunder, Yahweh’s voice can be heard over large distances. Alternate translation: “The voice of the glorious God is loud like thunder” or “When the glorious God speaks it rumbles like thunder”
over many waters
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=waters god_of the,glory thunders YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters many )
Alternate translation: “over the large bodies of water”
