Psalms 93:4
The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

Study Note
The declaration 'the Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea' employs the ancient Near Eastern chaos-water mythology — in which the sea represents the primordial threats to cosmic order — to affirm YHWH's incomparable sovereignty over every threatening power. Psalm 93 is one of the 'enthronement psalms' (93, 95-99) that celebrate YHWH as king, using the sea-conquest motif that runs through Psalm 74:13-14, Isaiah 51:9-10, and Job 38:8-11 (God setting bounds for the sea). The theological move is from nature to history: the God who rules the literal sea also rules the 'sea' of chaotic historical forces — national, political, personal. Revelation 4:6 and 15:2's 'sea of glass' before God's throne represents the eschatological pacification of the chaos-waters — the final victory over all threatening powers that Psalm 93 proleptically celebrates.
