JEHOVAH REIGNS SUPREME OVER HIS WHOLE CREATION
Jehovah (the Hebrew name of God) is translated “LORD” in the King James Bible. His might and majesty need no elaboration.
He is the King of kings. He is buckled, and ready to strike at His enemy and defend His Kingdom. From the Creator-God we now see His creation, or hear His voice in nature (v.3).
God hath a voice that ever is heard
In the peal of thunder, the chirp of the bird;
It comes in the torrent, all rapid and strong,
In the streamlets soft gush, as it ripples along;
In the waves of the ocean, the furrows of land,
In the mountains of granite, the atom of sand;
Turn where you may, from the sky to the sod,
Where can you gaze that ye see not the Lord?
(Eliza Cook)
Seen in another light (v.4), the utmost of their power is to Him but a sound, so He calls it a noise by way of contempt.
Loud the stormy billows spoke,
Loud the billows raised their cry;
Fierce the stormy billows broke
Sounding to the echoing sky
Strong the breakers tossing high,
Stronger is Jehovah’s might,
True thy words; and sanctify
Well becomes thy temples bright.
(Richard Mant)
When the storm raises billows to the sky the Lord can easily restrain them. So when impious men rage against the Lord, He is able to subdue them and overrule their malice.
