Mazmur 81:14

81:14 Then I would quickly subdue their enemies,

and attack ¹  their adversaries.”

Mazmur 93:4

93:4 Above the sound of the surging water, ² 

and the mighty waves of the sea,

the Lord sits enthroned in majesty. ³ 

[81:14]  ¹ tn Heb “turn my hand against.” The idiom “turn the hand against” has the nuance of “strike with the hand, attack” (see Isa 1:25; Ezek 38:12; Amos 1:8; Zech 13:7).

[93:4]  ² tn Heb “mighty waters.”

[93:4]  sn 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.

[93:4]  ³ tn Heb “mighty on high [is] the Lord.”
