Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 74:12

"Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth." — Psalms 74:12 (ASV)

For. —Better, and, or and yet.

My king. —The poet speaks for Israel. (Habakkuk 1:12.)

In the midst of the earth. —Or, as we might say, “on the great theatre of the world.” Certainly we must not render here land instead of earth, since the wonders of Egypt, etc., are the theme.
