Exegesis
The prepositional clause miga'aratkha {מִגַּעֲרָתְךָ | mi-ga-ʿa-raṯ-ḵā} ‘at Your rebuke’ introduces the divine causative action, while minishmat ruach apekha {מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפֶּךָ | mi-nish-mat rû-aḥ ʾap-pe-kā} ‘from the breath of Your nostrils’ merges wind and wrath imagery to intensify divine power.
In context — Psalm 18:15
Then the channels of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at Your rebuke, O LORD , at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils .
