Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not {m} known.

(m) For when you had brought over your people, the water returned to her course, and the enemies who thought to have followed them, could not pass through, Ex 14:28,29.

Wesley's Notes

77:19 Not known - Because the water returned and covered them.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

19. waters . , footsteps-may refer to His actual leading the people through the sea, though also expressing the mysteries of providence.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

77:11-20 The remembrance of the works of God, will be a powerful remedy against distrust of his promise and goodness; for he is God, and changes not. God's way is in the sanctuary. We are sure that God is holy in all his works. God's ways are like the deep waters, which cannot be fathomed; like the way of a ship, which cannot be tracked. God brought Israel out of Egypt. This was typical of the great redemption to be wrought out in the fulness of time, both by price and power. If we have harboured doubtful thoughts, we should, without delay, turn our minds to meditate on that God, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, that with him, he might freely give us all things.
