INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 77 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.

The clouds poured out water,.... This, with some other circumstances which follow, are not related by Moses in the history of this affair; but as they are here recorded by an inspired penman, there is no doubt to be made of the truth of them; besides Josephus (a) relates the same things; he says, that at the time when the Egyptians were drowned in the Red sea, rains descended from heaven, and...

Thou leddest...
