How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs יֵשֵׁ֑ב and כּוֹנֵ֖ן govern the main clauses of the verse. The first verb states that the LORD dwells forever, while the second indicates that He has established His throne.
The structure emphasizes God's eternal presence and His established authority, with the prepositional phrase לַמִּשְׁפָּ֣ט indicating the purpose of His throne, which is for judgment.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
