Commentary on Psalms 74:15

Theological / Devotional

Thou didst cleave. The allusion may be to God’s bringing water out of the rock at the command of Moses (see Ex. 17:6; Num. 20:8; cf. Ps. 78:15, 16), or to the passage of the Red Sea (see Joshua 2:10), or to the crossing of the Jordan (see Joshua 3:13 ; 4:23; 5:1).

Driedst up mighty rivers. An obvious allusion to the crossing of the Jordan (see Joshua 3:13 ; 4:23; 5:1).
