The Storm at the Red Sea
Commentators widely agree that this verse describes a violent storm of rain, thunder, and lightning that accompanied the parting of the Red Sea. While the book of Exodus doesn't detail this storm, scholars note that other historical sources like Josephus mention it, and the psalmist affirms it here. This adds a layer of divine terror to the Egyptians' pursuit, showing God fighting for His people with the full force of nature.
