Footnotes

  1. 35 Heb “a heavy rain of waters passes by.” Perhaps the flash floods produced by the downpour are in view here.
  2. 36 The great deep, which is to be equated with the sea (vv. 8, 15), is a symbol of chaos and represents the Lord’s enemies.
  3. 37 Lifting the hands here suggests panic and is accompanied by a cry for mercy (see Ps 28:2; Lam 2:19). The forces of chaos cannot withstand the Lord’s power revealed in the storm.
