In biblical context, "the flood" can refer to the great flood in Genesis, where God demonstrated His power over creation by both bringing the flood and preserving Noah and his family. The imagery of God sitting enthroned suggests a position of authority and stability, contrasting with the tumultuous nature of a flood. This can also be seen as a reassurance of God's dominion over all natural and supernatural forces, echoing themes found in other scriptures such as <a href="/psalms/93-4.htm">Psalm 93:4</a>, which speaks of the LORD being mightier than the raging seas. The floodwaters can also symbolize the trials and tribulations faced by believers, with God being the ultimate authority over them.<p><b>the LORD is enthroned as King forever.</b><br>This phrase underscores the eternal reign of God, highlighting His unchanging and everlasting kingship. The concept of God as an eternal king is a central theme throughout the Bible, affirming His ultimate authority and governance over all creation. This eternal kingship is not limited by time or circumstance, contrasting with earthly kings whose reigns are temporary. The idea of God's eternal rule is echoed in passages like <a href="/daniel/4-34.htm">Daniel 4:34</a>, where God's dominion is described as everlasting. This also points to the messianic expectation of an eternal kingdom, fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the King of Kings in the New Testament (<a href="/revelation/19-16.htm">Revelation 19:16</a>). The eternal nature of God's kingship provides comfort and assurance to believers, affirming that God's purposes and plans will prevail throughout all generations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and sovereign nature.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_flood.htm">The Flood</a></b><br>This likely refers to the great flood in the time of Noah, symbolizing God's power over creation and judgment.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/e/enthroned.htm">Enthroned</a></b><br>A term indicating God's supreme authority and kingship over all the earth and its events.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>The imagery of God sitting enthroned over the flood reminds us of His ultimate control over nature and history.

Hence we must suppose that the poet was recalled to the thought of the great Flood by the torrents of rain now falling. Jehovah sat then upon the waters as their King, and so He will for ever be throned on high above the storms of earth. Or, perhaps, the Deluge may have passed into a proverbial term for any great rain.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The Lord sitteth upon the flood</span>. Most moderns translate, "The <span class="accented">Lord sat</span> (as King) <span class="accented">at the Flood</span>," and understand by "the Flood" the great Noachian Deluge (Rosenmuller, Hengstenberg, Kay, Revised Version). Some, however, regard this as a forced and unnatural interpretation (Bishop Horsley, ' Four Friends,' 'Speaker's Commentary'), and think the flood accompanying the storm just described (vers. S - 9), or floods and inundations generally, to be meant. It is difficult to decide between the two interpretations. <span class="cmt_word">Yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever</span>. As God has sat as King in the past, whether at the great Deluge or at any other flood or floods, so will he ever "sit as King" in the future. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/29-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְ֭הוָה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">sits enthroned</span><br /><span class="heb">יָשָׁ֑ב</span> <span class="translit">(yā·šāḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3427.htm">Strong's 3427: </a> </span><span class="str2">To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marry</span><br /><br /><span class="word">over the flood;</span><br /><span class="heb">לַמַּבּ֣וּל</span> <span class="translit">(lam·mab·būl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3999.htm">Strong's 3999: </a> </span><span class="str2">Flood -- a deluge</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְ֝הוָ֗ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is enthroned</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב</span> <span class="translit">(way·yê·šeḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3427.htm">Strong's 3427: </a> </span><span class="str2">To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marry</span><br /><br /><span class="word">as King</span><br /><span class="heb">מֶ֣לֶךְ</span> <span class="translit">(me·leḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> </span><span class="str2">A king</span><br /><br /><span class="word">forever.</span><br /><span class="heb">לְעוֹלָֽם׃</span> <span class="translit">(lə·‘ō·w·lām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5769.htm">Strong's 5769: </a> </span><span class="str2">Concealed, eternity, frequentatively, always</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/29-10.htm">Psalm 29:10 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/29-10.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 29:10 Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/29-9.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 29:9"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 29:9" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/29-11.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 29:11"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 29:11" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
