Psalms 93:3

The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 93:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice. By "the floods" seem to be meant the world powers, God's enemies; perhaps especially Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon. Invading hosts are constantly compared to "floods" or "rivers" in Scripture (see , ; ; , ; ; , etc.

). The floods lift up their waves; or, "their din," "their roaring" (comp. , "Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people").
