Psalms 93:3 - Exposition

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 Isaiah 8:7 , Isaiah 8:8 ; Isaiah 28:2 ; Isaiah 17:12 , Isaiah 17:13 ; Isaiah 59:19 ; Jeremiah 46:8 , etc.). The floods lift up their waves; or, "their din," "their roaring" (comp. Psalms 65:7 , "Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people").
