The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 77:14

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Thou art the God that doest wonders. The gods of the heathen could do nothing. They were weakness, vanity, nothingness. Jehovah alone was powerful. tie could work, and could "work wonders." This clause prepares the way for the magnificent description of the deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea, which occupies Psalms 77:16-19.

Thou hast declared thy strength among the people; rather, among the peoples—i.e. in the sight of many heathen nations (comp. Exodus 15:14-16).
