The Key Word — הֲ֭דַר, Ha.dargenerated
The word הָדָר (hadar) signifies beauty, glory, and majesty. It is derived from a root that conveys magnificence, and it captures the essence of God's splendor and excellence. In this verse, it emphasizes the majestic nature of God's presence and His attributes.
As a noun in the masculine singular construct, it indicates a relationship to the following noun, כְּב֣וֹד (kabowd), which also means glory. Together, they create a powerful image of the divine majesty that the psalmist seeks to meditate upon.
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 verb אָשִֽׂיחָה (asiḥah), meaning 'I will meditate', governs the entire verse, with two noun phrases preceding it: הֲ֭דַר and כְּב֣וֹד, which describe the majesty of God. The structure emphasizes the psalmist's intention to reflect on God's attributes and deeds.
The Hebrew word order places the focus on God's majesty and glory before the action of meditation, highlighting the significance of what the psalmist is contemplating.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הֲ֭דַר as δόχης (doxēs), which means 'glory' or 'splendor'. This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but also reflects a broader understanding of divine honor in the Greek context.
The word וְדִבְרֵ֖י is rendered as λαλήσουσιν (lalēsousin), meaning 'they will speak', which shifts the focus slightly from the matters themselves to the act of proclaiming them.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads: "הֲ֭דַר כְּב֣וֹד הוֹדֶ֑ךָ וְדִבְרֵ֖י נִפְלְאוֹתֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃" which translates to "the glorious splendor of Your majesty. And I will meditate on Your wondrous works." The Septuagint has a similar structure, with 5 of the 6 words matched, but its word order and articles differ from the Hebrew text. The Dead Sea Scrolls (11Q5) also align closely with the Masoretic Text, although it includes additional phrases such as "ברוך יהוה וברוך שמ׳ו לעולם ועד" which are not present in the Masoretic Text. Overall, the core message regarding the majesty and wondrous works remains consistent across these witnesses, with slight variations in wording and additional phrases in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
הֲ֭דַר כְּב֣וֹד הוֹדֶ֑ךָ וְדִבְרֵ֖י נִפְלְאוֹתֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

On
Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel.
