"The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves." — Psalms 93:3 (ASV)
Waves. Better, for the parallelism, roaring: but literally, breaking of the waves on the shore.
Floods, here poetically for the sea, as in Psalm 24:2.
Lift up. The repetition of the verb the third time in a different tense adds to the force. In the Septuagint and Vulgate, this clause is from the voices of many waters.
