Rivers; either,
1. Properly so called; which he can divert or dry up when he pleaseth, as sometimes he hath done. Or rather,
2. Those grounds which are well watered, and therefore very fruitful, as the next verse explains this. And so the water-springs, here and Psalms 107:35, and the standing water, Psa 107 35, are taken. Into a wilderness; into a dry ground, as it follows, which is like a parched and barren wilderness.
