The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice. "The floods" are here the seas, the emblem of the tumultuous mass of the world-powers (Psalms 46:2-3).
The floods lift up their waves - literally, 'their breakers:' waves dashed into collision with waves х dokiy (H1796), from a Hebrew root, to dash to pieces, daakah (H1794)].
