Psalms 74:13 - Exposition

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength. A clear reference to Exodus 14:21 (comp. Psalms 77:16 ; Psalms 78:13 ; Psalms 106:9 ). Thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters . The dragon ( tannim ) is frequently used as a symbol of Egyptian power (see Isaiah 51:9 ; Ezekiel 29:3 ; Ezekiel 32:2 ). The allusion here is to the destruction of Pharaoh's host in the waters of the Red Sea ( Exodus 14:27-30 ; Exodus 15:4 ).
