6. At thy rebuke. A word accomplished all;
there was no need of a single blow. O God of Jacob. God of thy wrestling
people, who again like their father supplant their enemy; God of the covenant
and the promise, thou hast in this gracious character fought for thine elect
nation. Both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. The
Israelites always had a special fear of horses and chariots; and therefore this
is the theme of special rejoicing. Thus can the Lord send a judicial sleep over
the enemies of the church, a premonition of the second death, and this he can
do when they are, as they imagine, in the very act of blotting out the
remembrance of his people.
