John Gill

Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

Then the channels of water were seen,.... Or, "of the sea"; as in 2Sa 22:16. There seems to be an allusion to the drying up of the sea when the Israelites passed through it.

Charles Spurgeon

The Treasury of David, Vol. 1 (1869)

So tremendous was the shock of God's assault in arms that the order of nature was changed, and the bottoms of rivers and seas were laid bare. "The channels of waters was seen;" and the deep cavernous bowels of the earth were upheaved till "the foundations of the world were discovered." What will not Jehovah's "rebuke" do? If "the blast of the breath of thy nostrils, "O Lord, be so terrible, what must thine arm be?
