Verse Takeaways
1
Salvation Belongs to God Alone
Commentators unanimously highlight that this verse emphasizes God's absolute sufficiency. When it seemed there was no help to be found, God acted single-handedly. Scholars like Calvin and Gill explain that God's 'wonder' isn't surprise, but a literary device to show us that He needs no human assistance to save His people and execute justice. His own arm is all that is required.
