Commentaries on Psalms 105:28
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28They rebelled not against his word - Instead of מרו ולא velo maru, "they rebelled," some think that a ש shin has been lost from before the word, and that it should be read שמרו ולא velo shamru, "they did not observe or keep his word."

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 28-3628-36. The ninth plague is made prominent as peculiarly wonderful. they rebelled not--Moses and Aaron promptly obeyed God (He 11:27); (compare Ex 7:1-11:10 and Psa 78:44-51, with which this summary substantially agrees). Or, rather, the "darkness" here is figurative (Jr 13:16), the literal plague of darkness (Ex 10:22, 23) being only alluded to as the symbol of God's wrath which overhung Egypt as a dark cloud during all the plagues. Hence, it is placed…Read the comment
