VOICE THUNDERS UPON THE WATERS : The Hebrew kôl (“voice”), used also of any loud sound (2 Samuel 15:10, of the trumpet; Ezekiel 1:24, of water), is sometimes used (Genesis 4:10; Isaiah 52:8) to call attention, like our “Hark !” Others refer it to the thunder, as in Psalm 77:18; or to take it for the combined noise of the storm, thunder, wind, and rain. (Ellicott Commentary)
The voice of The LORD — That is, thunder, frequently so called; is upon the waters — Upon the seas, where its noise spreads far and wide, and is very terrible. (Benson Commentary)
The waters above and beneath the firmament are astonished at the Eternal voice. When the Holy Spirit makes the divine promise to be heard above the many waters of our soul’s trouble, then is God as glorious in the spiritual world as in the universe of matter. Above us and beneath us all is the peace of God when He gives us quiet. (Treasury of David)

“Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of His roar, sorrows will be no more,
When He bares His teeth, winter meets its death,
And when He shakes His mane, we shall have spring again.”
“Beloved, said the Glorious One, unless your desire had been for Me, you would not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly seek.” (C.S. Lewis, Chronicles of Narnia)
