Psalms 29:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

And Sirion— A high mountain on the other side of the river Jordan, near the country of the Ammonites, known also by the names of Hemnon and Shenir. See Deuteronomy 3:9. Bishop Hare thinks the passage should be read, And he maketh them to skip, Lebanon like a calf, and Sirion like a young unicorn, rhinoceros, or oryx. If by Lebanon we are to understand allegorically the Syrians; by Sirion may be meant the Ammonites; and in this view it is not improbable that the two animals here mentioned were either borne in the standards of these people, or the hieroglyphics used to denote them.

Psalms 29:6

6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
