יְיָ בְּדַר טוּפָנָא יְתִיב עַל כּוּרְסֵי דְדִינָא לְמִתְפְּרַע מִנְהוֹן וִיתֵיב יְיָ עַל כּוּרְסֵי רַחֲמוּתָא וְשֵׁזֵיב יַת נֹחַ וּמְלַךְ עַל בְּנוֹי לְעַלְמֵי עָלְמִין.
1. sat enthroned... | י"י... יָשָׁב – The verse more literally reads: "Hashem sat for the flood", but see Sforno that the connotation is that Hashem sat on His throne. Just as during the flood Hashem alone sat as king (since all human kings were killed), so too He alone will reign in the future. Hoil Moshe, in contrast, suggests that the verse is highlighting how God sat to judge the earth by means of the flood. Alternatively, the word "sat" here refers to giving consideration to a matter: "Hashem thought to bring the flood".
2. at the Flood | לַמַּבּוּל – Alternatively, the verse is not referring back to the flood of Bereshit, but is referencing the storm described in the psalm itself, through which God's sovereignty is manifest
