What does Psalms 24:1-2 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

David affirmed Yahweh"s sovereignty over all things. He is over all because He created all. Paul appealed to this verse to support his doctrine that the Christian may eat anything, provided doing so does not cause someone else to stumble ( 1 Corinthians 10:26).

The pagans viewed their gods as limited to certain regions and functions, but Yahweh is sovereign over all. Psalm 24:2 looks back to the creation of the world. The "rivers" (NASB) or "waters" (NIV) is a synonym for "seas." It probably describes the watery chaos out of which Moses described the world emerging in the Genesis account of creation ( Genesis 1:10).
