EXPLANATION

Verse 5. Hills. Of Juda, which are styled eternal, on account of their stability. Deuteronomy 33:15. Hebrew seems to be incorrect. Calmet.—“Thou art a light magnificently from ( Bible.) or more than, (Bert.) the mountains of the captivity.” Saint Jerome—Or, “of prey.” Prot.—“Thou art more terrible … than the richest mountains.” Theod.—Yet this comparison hardly suits in this place, ( Calmet.) and Houbigant prefers the Vulg. and Septuagint who may have read terem, “before,” or saraph, “of the seraph,” (alluding to God’s seat upon the ark) instead of tareph, “prey.” Bert.—God grants victory to his people, and enlightens them with the true faith.
