Sentence Structuregenerated

The structure highlights God's attributes through a series of declarations about His strength and authority, creating a rhythmic and emphatic statement of His power.

THINE is an arm with might. ‘Arm,’ ‘hand,’ ‘right hand’ (terms frequently used in connexion with the Exodus, e.g. Exodus 15:6; Exodus 15:9; Exodus 15:12; Exodus 15:16) denote not merely power but the exertion of power; and the use of verbs in the second line, lit.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Psalms 89:13 states, "לְךָ֣ זְ֭רוֹעַ עִם־ גְּבוּרָ֑ה תָּעֹ֥ז יָ֝דְךָ֗ תָּר֥וּם יְמִינֶֽךָ׃" which translates to "Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted." The Septuagint closely aligns with the Masoretic Text, with 7 of the 8 words matched, although the word order and articles differ as per the Greek structure. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide a direct comparison for this verse, so their agreement or disagreement with the Masoretic Text remains unverified in this instance. Overall, the primary witnesses, the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint, show significant agreement in content.
לְךָ֣ זְ֭רוֹעַ עִם־ גְּבוּרָ֑ה תָּעֹ֥ז יָ֝דְךָ֗ תָּר֥וּם יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
7 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.
