16. Formal Translation Give glory to the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikhem, Righteous Judge} before He brings darkness, and before your feet stumble on the mountains of twilight; while you hope for light, He makes it into the shadow of death and sets it into thick darkness. |
16. Dynamic Translation Honor the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikhem, Warning Giver} now before He brings darkness and your feet stumble on the shadowy hills; while you expect light, He turns it into deathlike gloom and makes it thick darkness. |
