Psalms 17:10

Verse 10. Feet. A violent storm of rain. Hence the Pagans borrowed:

Jupiter et læto descendit plurimus imbri. Virg. Ec. 7.

—The prophets Isai. (29:6) and Nahum (1:3) speak in the same lofty strains; ( Calmet.) and shall any one despise the language of Scripture? Nothing can exceed its sublimity. Hebrew is rather more expressive, (verse 9.) “a fire devoured;” (verse 11.) “on a cherub, and flew; he flew most swiftly;” like and eagle. Bert.—Hebrew vida. Bible.
