Commentary on Psalms 74:13

Theological / Devotional

Thou. In the Hebrew the pronoun is in the emphatic initial position here and in vs. 14, 15, 17 (see Ps. 65:9–11).

Didst divide the sea. At the time of the crossing of the Red Sea (see Ex. 14:21; cf. Ps. 77:16).

Dragons. Heb. tanninim, “see monsters,” presumably symbolic of Egyptian power (see Eze. 29:3). The allusion seems to be to the destruction of Pharaoh’s armies in the Red Sea (see Ex. 14:27–30; 15:4).
