Psalms 89:25

25 I will place his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the rivers. ^{▼▼ Some identify “the sea” as the Mediterranean and “the rivers” as the Euphrates and its tributaries. However, it is more likely that “the sea” and “the rivers” are symbols for hostile powers that oppose God and the king (see v. 9, as well as Ps 93:3–4).}
