8. Formal Translation The One who makes the Pleiades and Orion, who turns deep darkness into morning and makes day become night-dark; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the surface of the earth—the LORD {Yahweh, Maker of Stars} is His name. |
8. Dynamic Translation He makes the Pleiades and Orion; He changes deep gloom into dawn and darkens daytime into night. He calls up the sea’s waters and pours them out across the earth—the LORD {Yahweh, Commander of Seas} is His name. |
