Psalms 77:16 - Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes

Bible Comments

The waters. Figure of speech Epizeuxis (App-6), for emphasis: i.e. the waters of the Nile, and the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-31).

The depths. Not referring to the "abyss" of Babylonian mythology, which was. corruption of primitive truth (Genesis 1:2), but the Red Sea emphasized in the preceding clause.
