Psalm 89:10
“Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 89Meaning
Rahab functions as poetic chaos-enemy imagery, often associated with Egypt; the emphasis is God's victorious sovereignty.
God's incomparable kingship
The psalm praises God's supremacy, power, justice, and favor toward his people.
Read carefully
The verse uses ancient poetic victory imagery and does not license modern ethnic violence.
Reflection
