Psalms 89:25

25. Sea The Mediterranean.

Rivers Historically construed, the plural form of this word must be accepted here in the same sense as the well-known dual Naharaim, which is a standing designation of the Euphrates and Tigris, as in the proper name Aram-Naharaim, or Aram, (that is, “the high-lands,”) of the two rivers, same as Mesopotamia, Genesis 24:10; Deuteronomy 23:4; Judges 3:8; Psalms 60:0, title. In this sense it describes, geographically, the eastern limit of the dominion of David and Solomon. 1 Kings 4:21; Ezra 4:20; Psalms 80:11. But prophetically, as applied to Messiah, the sense is general, and the description sets forth a universal empire, as in Psalms 72:8
