Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee (see Exodus 2:23; Exodus 3:7; Exodus 14:10, etc.). I answered thee in the secret place of thunder. The pillar of the cloud seems to be meant. In this, and from this, God answered the cry of his people (Exodus 14:24). I proved thee at the waters of Meribah (Exodus 17:7). The "selah" after these words marks a pause, during which the people addressed might reflect on the manifold mercies which God had vouchsafed to them in Egypt, in the wilderness, and elsewhere.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Thou calledst.--The recital of God's past dealings with the people usual at the Feast of the Tabernacles (Deuteronomy 31:10-13; Nehemiah 8:18) appears to follow here as if the feast were actually in progress and the crowd were listening to the psalmist.I answered thee in the secret place of thunder.--Mr. Burgess is undoubtedly right in taking the verb as from ?nan, "to cover," instead of ?nah, "to answer." I sheltered thee in the thundercloud, with plain allusion to the "cloudy pillar." The same verb is used in Psalm 105:39, "He spread out the cloud for a covering."
