Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 there were terrible thunders, lightnings, and thunderbolts; this was when the Lord looked through the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
Exodus 14:24,
the skies sent out a sound; or the airy clouds, the lighter ones, and which were higher in the heavens, as the others before mentioned were thick clouds, full of water, and hung lower; these were thunderclouds, and thunder is the sound which they sent forth, as in the following verse:
thine arrows also went abroad: that is, lightnings, as in
Psalms 18:14, so Aben Ezra; but Kimchi interprets them of hailstones.
a Antiqu. l. 2. c. 16. sect. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The clouds poured out water - Margin, “The clouds were poured forth with water.” The translation in the text is the more correct. This is a description of a storm; but to what particular storm in history does not appear. It was evidently some exhibition of the divine greatness and power in delivering the children of Israel, and may have referred to the extraordinary manifestation of God at Mount Sinai, amidst lightnings, and thunders, and tempests. Exodus 19:16. For a general description of a storm, as illustrating this passage, see Job 36:26-33, notes; Job 37:1-5, notes; and Psalms 29:1-11.
The skies sent out a sound - The voice of thunder, which seems to come from the sky.
Thine arrows also - The lightnings - compared with burning or ignited arrows. Such arrows were anciently used in war. They were bound round with rags, and dipped in some combustible substance - as turpentine - and shot into houses, grain-fields, haystacks, or towns, for the purpose of setting them on fire. It was not unnatural to compare the rapid lightnings with such blazing arrows.
Went abroad - They moved rapidly in all directions.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 77:17. The clouds poured out water — It appears from this that there was a violent tempest at the time of the passage of the Red Sea. There was a violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain. These three things are distinctly marked here.
1. "The skies sent out a sound:" the THUNDER.
2. "Thine arrows went abroad:" the LIGHTNING.
3. "The clouds poured out water:" the RAIN. In the next verse we have,
4. An EARTHQUAKE: "The earth trembled and shook," Psalms 77:18.
