Footnotes
Shamayim is rendered "skies" in F.O.G. to honor the ancient cosmological frame—the visible, arching dome above—rather than the later abstraction "heaven." The closing verse is no mere doxology: it grounds the psalm's entire drama in creation theology. The One who tamed the chaos-waters at the founding of the world (Gen. 1:2; Ps. 93:3–4) is the same One who tames them now for His people. This formula also echoes Ps. 121:2, stitching the Songs of Ascents into a single theological tapestry.
