“The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.”
The sun and moon stood still in their exalted places, at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear—the cosmic imagery recalls Joshua's victory where the sun and moon stood still; the arrows and spear suggest divine combat against chaos-forces. The cessation of celestial movement indicates that even the heavenly bodies respond to God's command; time and space themselves submit to divine will. This verse suggests that salvation-history is written across creation itself.
