The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm CVI
18. “They forgat God who saved them” ( ver. 21 ). How did He save them? “Who did so great things in Egypt: Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things in the Red Sea” ( ver. 22 ). The things that are wondrous, are also fearful; for there is no wonder without a certain fear: although these might be called fearful, because they beat down their adversaries, and showed them what they ought to fear.
