He taketh comfort of this miracle, that GOD brought the Israelites through the red sea,1 in this, that the waters knew the Israelites, & gave place unto them, that they might dry footed go through them. But when king Pharaoh and his people would have followed in the same path, persecuting Gods people, the sea would make no way for him, nor yet show the steppes where the Israelites trod,2 but overwhelmed them in most desperate deaths. So in the seas of temptations,3 such as put their trust in the Lord,4 pass, and never perish by them: whereas such as put not their trust in the Lord, perish in temptations: as Pharaoh and his army did by water. And the next verse that concludeth the Psalm, showeth by what means the Israelites were under God saved in the red sea: by the hands of Moses and Aaron, as it appeareth.
He taketh comfort of this miracle, that GOD brought the Israelites through the red sea,1 in this, that the waters knewe the Israelites, & gaue place vnto them, that they might drye footed goe through them. But when king Pharao and his people would haue followed in the same path, persequuting Gods people, the sea would make no way for him, nor yet shew the steppes where the Israelites troade,2 but ouerwhelmed them in most desperate deaths. So in the seas of temptations,3 suche as put their trust in the Lorde,4 passe, and neuer perish by them: whereas such as put not their trust in the Lorde, perish in temptations: as Pharao and his armie did by water. And the next verse that concludeth the Psalme, sheweth by what meanes the Israelites were vnder God saued in the red sea: by the handes of Moses and Aaron, as it appeareth.
