EXPLANATION

Verse 5. Rage. These, and similar expressions, when applied to the immutable Deity, only denote that men have deserved the worst of punishments. Bible.—God had discomfited the enemies of David (2 Kennicott. 5:20. 24.) by his thunder.

Bible.—He will severely reprehend, and justly punish the obstinate. Worthington.
