The Key Word — נָשָׂא, na.se.'Ugenerated
The Hebrew word נָשָׂא (nasa') means to lift, carry, or take, and is used here in the perfect tense to indicate a completed action: they have lifted up. This word encompasses a wide range of applications, both literal and figurative, such as lifting burdens or raising one's status.
In this verse, it describes the rivers as actively lifting their voices, suggesting a powerful and dynamic expression of nature. The repetition of this verb emphasizes the intensity of the action, as multiple rivers are portrayed as raising their voices in unison.
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 verse consists of multiple clauses, with the main action driven by the verb נָשָׂא, they have lifted up. The structure showcases the rivers as subjects of this action, emphasizing their collective voice against the Lord.
The syntax highlights the relationship between the rivers and their actions, creating a rhythm that reflects the tumultuous nature of the scene. The repetition of the verb נָשָׂא reinforces the intensity of the rivers' outcry.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נָשָׂא as ἐπῆραν (epēran), which also means 'they lifted up'. This choice conveys a similar sense of action but may carry a slightly different nuance in the Greek context.
The use of ποταμοί for נְהָר֨וֹת indicates a focus on the rivers as significant entities, aligning with the Hebrew emphasis on their role in the psalm.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Psalms 93:3 reads, "נָשְׂא֤וּ נְהָר֨וֹת׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה נָשְׂא֣וּ נְהָר֣וֹת קוֹלָ֑ם יִשְׂא֖וּ נְהָר֣וֹת דָּכְיָֽם," which translates to "The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves." The Septuagint has a partial correspondence with the Masoretic Text, matching 6 of the 9 words, but presents them in a different order and with its own articles. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q94) contain parts of the verse, with 1 word fully preserved and 7 supplied by an editor, while 11Q5 has only 2 words from the verse. Overall, while there are some differences in order and completeness, the core message of the verse is maintained across these witnesses, particularly in the Masoretic Text and the fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls that agree on key terms.
נָשְׂא֤וּ נְהָר֨וֹת׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה נָשְׂא֣וּ נְהָר֣וֹת קוֹלָ֑ם יִשְׂא֖וּ נְהָר֣וֹת דָּכְיָֽם׃
6 of the 9 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.
[נשאו] [נהרות] [יהוה] נשאו נהרות [קול׳ם] [ישאו] [נהרות] [דכי׳ם]
1 word on the leather — 1 partly restored, 7 supplied entire by an editor.
נשאו נהרות
2 words of the verse are on this fragment. The rest of the verse is not on it.
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. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
The map of this verse — what each word keeps company with
This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged. Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Hebrew Bible — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance. Built from: the words a word is made out of, taken from its own Strong’s entry. It is not a map of meaning: nothing here claims two words mean the same thing.

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.'
