# he who builds his steps in the heavens
# builds his steps
These are probably the steps that ancient people imagined led up to God's palace in the heavens. However, some modern versions understand the word translated as "steps" here to mean "upper rooms." In either case, "his steps" or "his upper rooms" is probably a metonym for God's palace. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"his steps" or "his upper rooms" or "his palace"
# has established his vault over the earth
# and has established his vault over the earth
Here "vault" refers to the sky which biblical writers described as being a dome over the earth. Alternate translation: "he sets the sky over the earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
"and has set the sky over the earth"
# He calls for the waters of the sea ... on the surface of the earth
This represents God causing the sea water to fall on the earth as rain. See how you translated this in [Amos 5:8](../05/08.md). Alternate translation: "He takes the waters of the sea and makes them rain down on the surface of the earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"He takes the waters of the sea and makes them rain down on the surface of the earth." See how you translated this in Amos 5:8.
# Yahweh is his name
By declaring his name, Yahweh is declaring his power and authority to do these things. See how you translated this in [Amos 5:8](../05/08.md).
