Psalms 29:10

The Lord sat as kingat the Flood;

yea, the Lord sitteth as king for ever (R.V.).

According to the A.V. the floodappears to mean the deluge of rain which falls in the storm. But the word mabbûlis found nowhere else but in Genesis 6-11, and is best explained by its use there. The storm reminds the poet of the great typical example of judgement and mercy, in which Jehovah's judicial sovereignty was exhibited.

Literally we may render, sat for the Flood; took His seat on His throne in order to execute that memorable judgement (Psalms 9:7).
