v. 16 – The sense of נְהָרוֹת could be either simply fresh-water rivers or ocean currents (see, e.g., Ps 24:2; 89:26). The parallel term, נוֹזְלִים, also carries such ambiguity, as it is used later in the psalm to refer to the Egyptians' river(s) (v. 44), but also as the ocean currents in Exod 15:8, a text which seems highly influential on Ps 78. In the end, the gloss rivers has been preferred as thematically parallel to v. 44.
