[89:9]  ¹ tn Heb “the majesty of the sea.”

[89:9]  ² tn Heb “rise up.”

[93:3]  ³ tn 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).

[93:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “the waves lift up, O Lord, the waves lift up their voice, the waves lift up their crashing.”

[93:4]  ⁵ 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.

[107:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “he raised [the] storm to calm.”

[107:29]  ⁸ tn Heb “their waves.” The antecedent of the third masculine plural pronominal suffix is not readily apparent, unless it refers back to “waters” in v. 23.

[8:26]  ¹⁰ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[8:26]  ¹¹ sn Who has authority over the seas and winds is discussed in the OT: Ps 104:3; 135:7; 107:23-30. When Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea he was making a statement about who he was.

[8:24]  ¹² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:24]  ¹³ tn The participle προσελθόντες (proselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[8:24]  ¹⁴ tn The double vocative shows great emotion.

[8:24]  ¹⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the connection to the preceding events.

[8:24]  ¹⁶ tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[8:24]  ¹⁷ sn Who has authority over the seas and winds is discussed in the OT: Ps 104:3; 135:7; 107:23-30. When Jesus rebuked the wind and the raging waves he was making a statement about who he was.
