bWho stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
cAnd where is the fury of the oppressor?
aThat he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.
Who adivided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.
bI have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
cThat I may1 plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
God’s Fury Removed
Stand up, O Jerusalem,
You who bhave drunk at the hand of the Lord
The cup of His fury;
You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling,
And drained it out.

Isaiah 51:15
divided . . . sea—the Red Sea. The same Hebrew word as "make to rest" (Isaiah 51:4). Rather, "that terrify the sea," that is, restrain it by My rebuke, "when its waves roar" [GESENIUS]. The Hebrew favors MAURER, "that terrify the sea so that the waves roar." The sense favors GESENIUS (Jeremiah 5:22; Jeremiah 31:35), or English Version (Isaiah 51:9-10, which favors the special reference to the exodus from Egypt).
