Psalms 93:3-4

3 The waves ^{▼▼ The Hebrew noun translated “waves” often refers to rivers or streams, but here it appears to refer to the surging waves of the sea (see v. 4, Ps 24:2).} roar, O Lord,
the waves roar,
the waves roar and crash. ^{▼▼ Heb “the waves lift up, O Lord, the waves lift up their voice, the waves lift up their crashing.”}
4 Above the sound of the surging water, ^{▼▼ Heb “mighty waters.”} ^{▼▼ The surging waters here symbolizes the hostile enemies of God who seek to destroy the order he has established in the world (see Pss 18:17; 29:3; 32:6; 77:20; 144:7; Isa 17:13; Jer 51:55; Ezek 26:19; Hab 3:15). But the Lord is depicted as elevated above and sovereign over these raging waters.}
and the mighty waves of the sea,
the Lord sits enthroned in majesty. ^{▼▼ Heb “mighty on high [is] the Lord.”}
