The Key Word — הַנּוֹתֵ֥ן, ha.no.Tengenerated
The word הַנּוֹתֵ֥ן (ha.no.Ten) is a participle form of the verb נָתַן (natan), meaning 'to give' or 'to make'. It suggests an active role in creating or providing a way, highlighting God's initiative in delivering His people.
As a masculine singular participle, it indicates that God Himself is the one who actively creates pathways, reinforcing the idea that deliverance is a divine act.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the word makes to convey God's active role in creating a way. The KJV and ASV similarly use made, maintaining the sense of divine action.
Where translations differ, they do so primarily in the rendering of עַזִּ֖ים — mighty (BSB, KJV, ASV) versus strong (YLT). This reflects slight variations in emphasis but retains the overall meaning.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of a main clause introduced by the verb אָמַר ('a.Mar), meaning 'he says', which establishes the speaker's authority. The structure includes a subject, the LORD, and two noun phrases describing the actions He performs.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on God's actions, with the participle הַנּוֹתֵ֥ן (ha.no.Ten) directly following the subject, highlighting God's role in making a way and a path.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הַנּוֹתֵ֥ן as διδοὺς (didous), which means 'giving'. This choice emphasizes the act of providing a way, aligning with the Hebrew meaning but focusing on the aspect of giving rather than creating.
The Greek word ὕδατι (hudati) for 'waters' reflects a direct translation of the Hebrew, maintaining the imagery of powerful waters that God can navigate.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

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.'

se (yam; thalassa; in Ac 27:5 pelagos): The Mediterranean is called ha-yam ha-gadhol, "the great sea" (Nu 34:6; Jos 1:4; Eze 47:10, etc.); ha-yam ha-'acharon, "the hinder," or "western sea" (De 11:24; 34:2; Joe 2:20; Zec 14:8); yam pelishtim, "the sea of the Philis" (Ex 23:31); the King James Version translates yam yapho' in Ezr 3:7 by "sea of Joppa," perhaps rightly.
The sea, yam , is used in Scripture to denote-- "The gathering of the waters," "the Ocean."

1. The GREAT SEA, the Mediterranean, called also the Hinder or Western Sea. Indeed, the Hebrew word for sea, meaning the Mediterranean, is often put for the west. The Great Sea is 2,200 miles long, and in the widest part 1,200 miles in width. In many places it is so deep as to give no soundings. It is little affected by tides, but is often agitated by violent winds. The prevailing direction of the wind in spring is from the southeast and southwest and from the northeast…
