The Key Word — עֵֽדֹתֶ֨יךָ׀, 'e.do.Tei.khagenerated
The word עֵדֹת (edot) refers to divine testimonies or witnesses, always in the plural form. It is derived from עֵד (ed), which means 'witness'. This term emphasizes God's laws and guidance, highlighting their importance in the life of the faithful.
In this verse, the phrase עֵדֹתֶ֨יךָ (edoteikha) indicates that these testimonies belong to God, reinforcing their authority and reliability. The psalmist asserts that they are not only trustworthy but also foundational to understanding God's character.
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 main clause is governed by the finite verb נֶאֶמְנ֬וּ, they are reliable, which is complemented by the subject עֵֽדֹתֶ֨יךָ, your testimonies. The sentence structure emphasizes God's testimonies as the subject of reliability.
Following the main clause, the phrase קֹ֑דֶשׁ (holiness) serves as the subject of the second clause, which is linked to the verb נַאֲוָה־ (it is befitting), indicating that holiness is appropriate for God's house.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates עֵדֹתֶ֨יךָ as σου (of You), indicating a direct connection to God. This choice reinforces the idea that these testimonies are intimately tied to God's character and authority.
The Greek word for קֹ֑דֶשׁ is ἁγίασμα, which emphasizes the sanctity of God's dwelling, aligning with the Hebrew understanding of holiness.

Read AdamClarke on Psalms 93 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges5. Thy testimonies] Many commentators explain testimonies to mean the promises and threatenings which have now been proved true, comparing the use of the cognate verb in Psalms 50:7; Psalms 81:8; Deuteronomy 8:19; &c. But this sense of the word is unsupported, and it is best to take it in its usual sense of the ‘law,’ regarded as bearing witness to Jehovah’s will and man’s duty. Cp. Psalms 19:7; Psalms 111:7. The transition seems somewhat abrupt; yet it is not inappropriate that the Psalm should close with a reference to the revelation which was the distinctive mark of Jehovah’s kingdom (Deuteronomy 4:7-8). holiness &c.] God’s house may be either the Temple or the land.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Psalms 93:5 reads, "עֵֽדֹתֶ֨יךָ׀ נֶאֶמְנ֬וּ מְאֹ֗ד לְבֵיתְךָ֥ נַאֲוָה־ קֹ֑דֶשׁ יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְאֹ֣רֶךְ יָמִֽים׃" which translates to, "Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, for all the days to come." The Septuagint (LXX) closely aligns with the MT, matching 9 out of 9 words in a word-by-word correspondence, although its word order and articles differ. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q84 and 4Q94) also support the MT with variations; 4Q84 has 3 words intact with 4 partly restored and 3 supplied by an editor, while 4Q94 has 2 words intact with 1 partly restored and 6 supplied by an editor. Overall, the MT is confirmed by the LXX and the Dead Sea Scrolls, with minor restoration differences noted in the scrolls.
עֵֽדֹתֶ֨יךָ׀ נֶאֶמְנ֬וּ מְאֹ֗ד לְבֵיתְךָ֥ נַאֲוָה־ קֹ֑דֶשׁ יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְאֹ֣רֶךְ יָמִֽים׃
9 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.
עדתי׳ך נאמנו [מאד] [לבית׳ך] נוה קדש יהוה לארך [ימים] ו
3 words on the leather — 4 partly restored, 3 supplied entire by an editor.
עדותי׳ך נאמנו [מאד] לבית׳ך [נוה] [קדש] [יהוה] [לארך] [ימים]
2 words on the leather — 1 partly restored, 6 supplied entire by an editor.
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.

I. In the Old Testament Meaning of the Term.
There has been much discussion as to the original meaning of the Semitic root Q-D-SH, by which the notion of holiness is expressed in the Old Testament. Some would connect it with an Assyrian word denoting purity, clearness; most modern scholars incline to the view that the primary idea is that of cutting off or separation. Etymology gives no sure verdict on the point…
Holiness
In the highest sense belongs to God (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 15:4), and to Christians as consecrated to God’s service, and in so far as they are conformed in all things to the will of God (Rom. 6:19, 22; Eph. 1:4; Titus 1:8; 1 Pet. 1:15). Personal holiness is a work of gradual development. It is carried on under many hindrances, hence the frequent admonitions to watchfulness, prayer, and perseverance (1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 7:1;

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.'
יהוה c. 6823 i.e. יַהְוֶה n.pr.dei Yahweh, the proper name of the God of Israel—(1. MT יְהֹוָה 6518 (Qr אֲדֹנָי), or יֱהֹוִה 305 (Qr אֱלֹהִים) 2. Many recent scholars explain יַהְוֶה as Hiph. of הוה (= היה) the one bringing into being, life-giver)
יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy
יהוה is also used with several predicates, to form sacred names of holy places of Yahweh

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. 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.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
