The praise psalm starts with a storm forming over the Mediterranean Sea at the command of the Lord. A powerful storm developed and traveled to Lebanon over Mount Herman and onto the Kadesh plains and the Orontes River’s upper reaches. The glory of the Lord is displayed in the storm. The Lord sits enthroned over the flood as King forever.
This reminds me of Jesus’ parable where a man built his house on sand and another on a rock. When the storm came the house on sand fell and the house on a rock withstood the storm. The Lord God is the rock to build a house on. He sends storms. Be ready. The Lord gives strength to his people. He blesses them.
