Psalms 77:17

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

Ver. 17. The clouds poured out water, the skies, &c.] Calvin taketh this to be a description of that hideous tempest, Exodus 9:18,26, the seventh plague of Egypt. But others with more probability hold, that the prophet here hath respect to that very time mentioned in the former verse, when the Lord looked upon the host of the Egyptians out of the fiery and cloudy pillar, and so troubled and turmoiled them with stormy tempests, that their chariot wheels fell off, and themselves sank as lead in the mighty waters, Exodus 14:24,25; Exodus 15:10. Of these terrible tempests mention is made also by Justin.
