At Your rebuke
The word "rebuke" in Hebrew is "גַּעֲרָה" (ga'arah), which signifies a strong reprimand or a forceful command. In the biblical context, God's rebuke is powerful and authoritative, often leading to immediate consequences. This phrase emphasizes God's supreme authority over creation. His word alone is sufficient to bring about change, demonstrating His sovereignty and the power of His voice, which can halt armies and silence chaos.

O God of Jacob
This title for God highlights His covenant relationship with the patriarch Jacob, also known as Israel. It underscores God's faithfulness to His promises and His chosen people. Historically, Jacob's life was marked by divine encounters and transformation, symbolizing God's ongoing commitment to His people. This phrase reassures believers of God's enduring presence and His role as a protector and deliverer, rooted in the history of Israel.

both horse and rider
In ancient warfare, horses and riders were symbols of military strength and power. The Hebrew words "סוּס" (sus) for horse and "רֹכֵב" (rokeb) for rider convey the might of an army. By mentioning both, the verse illustrates the totality of God's dominion over human power. No matter how formidable the forces against God's people, they are rendered powerless before Him. This serves as a reminder of the futility of relying on human strength instead of divine intervention.

lie stunned
The Hebrew root "תַּרְדֵּם" (tardem) suggests a deep, incapacitating sleep or stupor. This state of being stunned is not merely physical but also a spiritual and psychological paralysis. It reflects the overwhelming impact of God's intervention, leaving adversaries helpless and unable to continue their opposition. This phrase inspires awe and reverence for God's ability to protect His people and subdue their enemies, reinforcing the theme of divine justice and protection throughout the scriptures.

(6) Are cast into a deep sleep.--The same Hebrew expression is used of Sisera's profound slumber (Judges 4:21). Deborah's Song and Exodus 15 are in the poet's mind, as they were to the author of Isaiah 43:17, and as they have inspired the well-known lines of Byron's "Sennacherib."

Verse 6. - At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob. The catastrophe has been God's doing; man has had no part in it (comp. 2 Kings 19:28, 35). Both the chariot and the horse are cast into a dead sleep. Metonymy for the charioteers and the horsemen (comp. Isaiah 43:17). These were the two chief arms of the military service with the Assyrians.
