You're right that it works the same in Aramaic as in Hebrew, and that
this is normal word order in those languages.
In the cases of 106:13 and 107:2 we have the Aramaic original attested
at Qumran, as Al pointed out. There, we find that the Aramaic word
order was simply followed by the Greek translation: YRD )BY, and LMX
BRK.
