Psalms 106:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 106:10

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them
As Pharaoh and his people did, because of their numerous increase, which they endeavoured to prevent; and still more because of the plagues inflicted on them; and now because they were got away from them, and therefore pursued them in great wrath and indignation, ( Exodus 15:9 ) .

And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy;
the same thing in different words; so the Lord Christ has saved and redeemed his people out of the hand of all their spiritual enemies; and those that hate them and war against them, as sin, Satan, and the world, ( Luke 1:71 Luke 1:74 ) .

Psalms 106:10 In-Context

8 - the very place he saved them! - the place he revealed his amazing power!
9 He rebuked the Red Sea so that it dried up on the spot - he paraded them right through! - no one so much as got wet feet!
10 He saved them from a life of oppression, pried them loose from the grip of the enemy.
11 Then the waters flowed back on their oppressors; there wasn't a single survivor.
12 Then they believed his words were true and broke out in songs of praise.
