69:34 Let the heavens and the earth praise him,
along with the seas and everything that swims in them!

you passed through the surging waters, 2
but left no footprints. 3
89:25 I will place his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the rivers. 4
104:25 Over here is the deep, wide sea, 5
which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, 6
living things both small and large.
135:6 He does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the ocean depths.
1 tn Heb “in the sea [was] your way.”
2 tn Heb “and your paths [were] in the mighty waters.”
3 tn Heb “and your footprints were not known.”
4 tn Some identify “the sea” as the Mediterranean and “the rivers” as the Euphrates and its tributaries. However, it is more likely that “the sea” and “the rivers” are symbols for hostile powers that oppose God and the king (see v. 9, as well as Ps 93:3-4).
5 tn Heb “this [is] the sea, great and broad of hands [i.e., “sides” or “shores”].”
6 tn Heb “where [there are] swimming things, and without number.”
