“Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.”
God's dominion over chaos: "You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves mount up, you still them." The mastery over the sea—a symbol of chaos in ancient Near Eastern mythology—demonstrates God's ability to order creation. The calming of the waves becomes an image for God's capacity to control threatening forces.
