Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 4 The Lord - is mightier than the noise of many waters - Greater in strength than all the peoples and nations that can rise up against him. Mighty waves of the sea - Even the most powerful empires can prevail nothing against him; therefore those who trust in him have nothing to fear.
