The Key Word — אַדִּירִ֣ים, 'a.di.Rimgenerated
The word אַדִּיר (addiyr) conveys a sense of greatness and power. It is often used to describe mighty entities, such as the waves of the sea, emphasizing their strength and majesty. The parsing as an adjective indicates its role in describing the subject, which is the LORD in this verse.
This term is built from a root meaning wide or large, and it encompasses a range of meanings that include excellent, glorious, and noble. The use of this word here underscores the contrast between the overwhelming forces of nature and the supreme majesty of God.
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. The BSB has majestic, which aligns with the KJV and ASV, both of which also use this term to convey the grandeur of God.
Where others part company with the BSB they part company over the word אַדִּירִ֣ים. The BBE and ILT translate it as great, while the BSB and MSB retain majestic, emphasizing the sense of splendor.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is centered around the subject יְהוָֽה (Yahweh), with the finite verb אַדִּ֖יר (is majestic) describing God's nature. The structure includes prepositional phrases that elaborate on the context of God's majesty in relation to the powerful waves of the sea.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the majesty of the LORD, highlighting it as the focal point against the backdrop of the roaring waters and mighty breakers.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew word אַדִּירִ֣ים is rendered as θαυμαστοὶ (thaumastoì), which translates to 'wonderful' or 'marvelous'. This choice reflects a widening of the term's meaning, emphasizing not just greatness but also the awe-inspiring nature of God's majesty.
The translation choice indicates how the translators perceived the divine power, linking it to the sense of wonder that God's majesty evokes.

If the received text is retained we may render, Above the thundering of many waters, The mighty (waters), the breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty. But the grammatical construction is anomalous, and an easy emendation gives the sense, Above the thundering of many waters, Majestic above the breakers of the sea, Majestic on high is Jehovah. The repetition is in harmony with the style of the Psalm. The word for noise, lit. voices, may best be rendered thundering, for the plural is only used of thunder. ’Addîr is inadequately rendered by mighty.

In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

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 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…
