Psalms 106:11 in Multiple Translations
The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.
The water drowned their enemies—none of them survived,
And the waters couered their oppressours: not one of them was left.
And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:
Then their enemies were drowned in the water of the Red Sea; not one of them was left.

Psalms 106:11 Summary
[Psalms 106:11 tells us that when God delivered the Israelites from their enemies, the waters completely covered their foes, leaving none remaining. This shows us God's amazing power and ability to save His people, as seen in other stories like Exodus 14:13-14. We can trust in God's power and provision, just like the Israelites did, and remember that He is always with us, as promised in Hebrews 13:5. By trusting in God, we can have confidence that He will help us overcome any challenges we face, just as He did for the Israelites.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the waters covering the foes in Psalms 106:11?
The waters covering the foes symbolize God's power and judgment, as seen in other instances like Exodus 14:28, where the Red Sea closed over the Egyptian army, destroying them. This event demonstrates God's ability to save His people and defeat their enemies.
How does this verse relate to the Israelites' journey?
This verse is part of a larger narrative describing the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt, as recounted in the book of Exodus, and their subsequent journey to the Promised Land, where God continually demonstrated His power and provision for them, as seen in Psalms 78:52-53.
What can we learn from the fact that not one of the foes remained?
The fact that not one of the foes remained emphasizes God's complete victory over His enemies, much like in Joshua 10:26, where the kings of the Amorites were completely defeated. This serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and power over all things.
How does this verse apply to our lives today?
This verse reminds us that God is still a God of power and judgment, and He will ultimately defeat all those who oppose Him, as stated in Romans 11:22. As believers, we can trust in His power and provision, just as the Israelites did, and look forward to the day when God will finally defeat all evil, as described in Revelation 20:10.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's power and provision, just as the Israelites did?
- How can I remember and apply the lessons of God's power and judgment in my own life, especially when faced with challenges or enemies?
- In what ways can I, like the Israelites, 'sing His praise' and express gratitude for God's deliverance and provision in my life?
- What are some ways I can 'wait for His counsel' and seek God's guidance, rather than forgetting His works and going my own way, as the Israelites did?
