Psalm 18:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:14

Yea, he sent out his arrows
By which thunderbolts, cracks of thunder, and flashes of lightning, seem to be meant; see ( Psalms 77:17 Psalms 77:18 ) ( 144:6 ) ; comparable to arrows shot, and sent out of a bow; and may denote, either the doctrines of the Gospel, which were sharp in the hearts of Christ's enemies, and are either the means of subduing them to him, or of destroying them, being the savour of death unto death; or however, like arrows, give great pain and uneasiness where they stick, and grievously distress and torment; as does the fire which comes out of the mouth of the two witnesses, ( Revelation 11:5 Revelation 11:10 ) . The Targum is,

``he sent his word as arrows;''

or else the judgments of God are meant, as famine, pestilence, and the sword, which God sent unto, and spent upon the Jewish nation, ( Deuteronomy 32:23 ) ;

and scattered them;
among the nations of the world, where they have been dispersed ever since;

and he shot out lightnings;
or "many lightnings", so the Targum:

and discomfited them;
troubled, terrified, and distressed them.

Psalm 18:14 In-Context

12 Por el fulgor de su presencia se desvanecieron sus densas nubes en granizo y carbones encendidos.
13 El SE脩OR tambi茅n tron贸 en los cielos, y el Alt铆simo dio su voz: granizo y carbones encendidos.
14 Y envi贸 sus saetas, y los dispers贸, y muchos rel谩mpagos, y los confundi贸.
15 Entonces apareci贸 el lecho de las aguas, y los cimientos del mundo quedaron al descubierto a tu reprensi贸n, oh SE脩OR, al soplo del aliento de tu nariz.
16 Extendi贸 la mano desde lo alto y me tom贸; me sac贸 de las muchas aguas.
