God's Power Over Creation

Commentators emphasize that this verse paints a vivid picture of God's absolute power over the most chaotic forces of nature. Albert Barnes notes that the original Hebrew powerfully conveys God's might over the 'mighty breakers of the sea.' This imagery serves to illustrate God's supreme majesty and His ability to control any force that seems overwhelming.
