Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 51:9-10

"Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster? Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?" — Isaiah 51:9-10 (ASV)

Are you not it that has cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

Are you not it which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

Our prayer is that God may do all this over again; and the answer to our prayer is found in the following verse.
