EXPLANATION

Verse 14. Stretched out. That is, thy wings extended. This alludes to the figure of the cherubims in the sanctuary, which with stretched out wings covered the ark, ( Challoner.) on the holy mountain. Saint Jerome and so forth—Fire. That is, bright and precious stones, which sparkle like fire. Challoner.—With these the king’s robes glittered, or he walked upon them. Esther 1:6. Calmet.—Calcacabatur onyx. Lucan x.
