NETBible

He builds the upper rooms of his palace¹ in heaven and sets its foundation supports² on the earth.³ He summons the water of the sea and pours it out on the earth’s surface. The Lord is his name.

NET Notes

¹tc The MT reads “his steps.” If this is correct, then the reference may be to the steps leading up to the heavenly temple or the throne of God (cf. 1 Kgs 10:19-20). The prefixed מ (mem) may be dittographic (note the preceding word ends in mem). The translation assumes an emendation to עֲלִיָּתוֹ (’aliyyato, “his upper rooms”).

²tn Traditionally, “vault” (so ASV, NAB, NRSV). The precise meaning of this word in this context is unclear. Elsewhere it refers to objects grouped or held together. F. I. Andersen and D. N. Freedman (Amos [AB], 845-46) suggest the foundational structure of a building is in view.

³sn Verse 6a pictures the entire universe as a divine palace founded on the earth and extending into the heavens.
