Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them. God's "arrows" are often spoken cf. Job felt them within him (Job 6:4). David has already said of them, that they are "ordained against the persecutors" (Psalm 7:13). We may understand by the expression any sharp pains, mental or bodily, which God sends. And he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. The effect of the tempest of God's wrath is to "scatter" and "discomfit" the enemy (comp. Exodus 14:24). Instead of" and he shot out lightnings," our Revisers give, and lightnings manifold, which is perhaps better.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) He sent out.--In the majesty of the storm we have almost forgotten its cause, the Divine wrath against the enemies of the poet. They are abruptly recalled to our remembrance in the suffix ("them") of the verbs in this verse. So the LXX. and Vulg. Many ancient interpreters, however, understood by them "the lightnings," while Ewald would carry the pronoun on to the "waters" in the next verse. Instead of "shot" (rab) many render as if it were the adjective "many," "his numerous lightnings." But comp. Psalm 144:6 and the verse in Samuel.
