Context of Psalms 106:9
7Our fathers in Egypt did not ponder Your wonders. Nor did they remember Your abundant lovingkindness, but rebelled by the sea— at the Sea of Reeds. 8Yet He saved them for His Name’s sake, to make His mighty power known. He rebuked the Sea of Reeds and it dried up, and He led them through the depths as through a wilderness. 10So He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, redeemed them from the enemy’s hand. 11The waters covered their adversaries— not one of them was left.

Commentaries on Psalms 106:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9He rebuked the Red Sea - In the descriptions of the psalmist every thing has life. The sea is an animated being, behaves itself proudly, is rebuked, and retires in confusion.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9He rebuked the Red Sea also - The word rendered “rebuke” commonly means to chide - as when one is angry with another for having done wrong.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-12Verses 6-12 Here begins a confession of sin; for we must acknowledge that the Lord has done right, and we have done wickedly. We are encouraged to hope that though justly corrected, yet we shall not be utterly forsaken. God's afflicted people own themselves guilty before him. God is distrusted because his favours are not remembered. If he did not save us for his own name's sake, and to the praise of his power and grace, we should all perish.Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-127-12. Special confession. Their rebellion at the sea (Ex 14:11) was because they had not remembered nor understood God's miracles on their behalf. That God saved them in their unbelief was of His mere mercy, and for His own glory. the sea ... the Red Sea--the very words in which Moses' song celebrated the scene of Israel's deliverance (Ex 15:4). Israel began to rebel against God at the very moment and scene of its deliverance by God!Read the comment
