But around this constantly moving centre, the opening and closing verses are still and reassuring, like pillars affirming the power of God that guarantees the stability of the foundations of the earth and the eternity of God’s rule.
bv Psalm 93 The second Shabbat Psalm turns back to earlier pre–Biblical traditions about the chaotic waters of creation vying with the gods for power.
