The term "rebuke" suggests a command that enforces order, similar to Jesus calming the storm in <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>, demonstrating His divine authority. The imagery of waters fleeing at God's command can also be linked to the parting of the Red Sea in <a href="/exodus/14-21.htm">Exodus 14:21</a>, where God delivers Israel from Egypt, showcasing His control over natural elements. This act of divine intervention is a recurring theme, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the obedience of creation to His will.<p><b>at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—</b><br>Thunder is often associated with God's voice and presence, as seen in <a href="/exodus/19-16.htm">Exodus 19:16</a> during the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai. It symbolizes His majesty and power, instilling awe and reverence. The waters "hurrying away" at the sound of thunder can be seen as a metaphor for God's ability to bring order out of chaos, a theme prevalent in the Psalms and prophetic literature. This imagery also connects to the eschatological visions in Revelation, where natural phenomena accompany divine judgment and renewal (<a href="/revelation/16-18.htm">Revelation 16:18</a>). The use of thunder here underscores the immediacy and effectiveness of God's command, reinforcing His ultimate authority over creation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, whose power and authority are demonstrated through His rebuke and the sound of His thunder.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/w/waters.htm">Waters</a></b><br>Symbolic of chaos and disorder, which are brought into order by God's command.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/r/rebuke.htm">Rebuke</a></b><br>Represents God's authoritative command over creation, emphasizing His sovereignty.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/thunder.htm">Thunder</a></b><br>A manifestation of God's power and presence, often associated with His voice in the Old Testament.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/creation.htm">Creation</a></b><br>The broader context of <a href="/bsb/psalms/104.htm">Psalm 104</a>, which celebrates God's creative work and His ongoing sustenance of the world.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>Recognize that God has ultimate authority over all aspects of creation, including the natural elements.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_god's_word.htm">The Power of God's Word</a></b><br>Understand that God's word is powerful and effective, capable of bringing order out of chaos.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_control.htm">Trust in God's Control</a></b><br>In times of personal chaos or disorder, trust in God's ability to bring peace and order through His sovereign will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_in_nature.htm">God's Presence in Nature</a></b><br>See the natural world as a testament to God's power and presence, prompting worship and reverence.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/responding_to_god's_authority.htm">Responding to God's Authority</a></b><br>Reflect on how we respond to God's authority in our lives, ensuring that we submit to His will and commands.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_104.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 104</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_psalm_104_9_conflict_with_sea-level_data.htm">Does the boundary 'that the waters might not again cover the earth' (Psalm 104:9) conflict with evidence of sea-level changes over time?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/psalm_87_7__how_are_all_'springs'_in_zion.htm">Psalm 87:7 - In what sense are all 'springs' in Zion, given that historically rivers and water sources are not exclusive to Jerusalem?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_no_proof_of_a_global_flood.htm">Psalm 29:10 mentions the Lord sitting enthroned over the flood; if this points to a universal flood, why do we lack conclusive global geological or archeological proof of it?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_christ's_obedience.htm">What does 'Deep calls to deep' in Psalm 42:7 mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/104.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">At thy rebuke they fled</span>.
