# oceans ... oceans'
|
|
|
|
Some versions read "floods ... floods'." The word often refers to a river (See: "the River" in [Psalms 72:8](../072/008.md)), but "oceans ... oceans'" has been chosen here because oceans, not rivers, have "waves" that "crash and roar."

# Above the crashing of many waves, the mighty breakers of the sea
