An invitation to study God's marvellous works towards men. I. WE SHOULD STUDY THE PHYSICAL WONDERS OF THE WORLD . ( Psalms 66:6 .) He turns the sea into dry land still, and the dry land into sea. II.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 66:6

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot; there did we rejoice in him . The passage of the Red Sea at the time of the Exodus was one of the most wonderful of God's works. To the Israelites it was altogether a matter of joy and rejoicing (see Exodus 15:1-21 ). But how terrible a thing was it to the Egyptians! "The waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 66:5

Come and see the works of God - See the notes at Psalms 46:8, where substantially the same expression occurs. The idea is, “Come and see what God has done and is doing; come and learn from this what he is; and let your hearts in view of all this, be excited to gratitude and praise.” The particular reference here is to what God had done in delivering his people from their former bondage in Egypt Psalms 66:6; but there is, connected with this, the idea that he actually rules among the nations,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 66:6

He turned the sea into dry land - The Red Sea, when he brought his people out of Egypt, Exodus 14:21. This was an illustration of his power, and of his ability to defend and deliver his people. The terror in that case, or that which was “terrible,” was the overthrow of their enemies the destruction of the Egyptians in the Red Sea - thus showing that he had power to destroy all the enemies of his people.They went through the flood on foot - literally, “through the river.” It is probable that the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 66:5-6

Psalms 66:5-6. Come and see the works of God, &c. Inquire after and consider seriously what works of stupendous power God has shown in the earth, in regard to the human race, and on their account. He turned the sea, &c. He opened a passage for our fathers through the sea, so that they walked as on dry land, Exodus 14:16; and also led them dry-shod through the river Jordan, when it was so full of water that it overflowed its banks. There did we rejoice in him That is, our nation,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 66:1-20

Psalms 66-67 God and the nationsIt appears that in Psalms 66:0 the people join in singing the first part of the song, and that the king sings the latter part alone. The song opens with a call to people worldwide to sing praise to God for a notable victory he has just won for Israel (66:1-4). Centuries earlier God brought Israel out of Egypt and led the people through the Red Sea, and the same God still rules in the affairs of nations (5-9). The worshippers acknowledge that in allowing them... read more
