He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills.
Ver. 10. He sendeth the springs into the valleys] God doth this; he by certain issues or vents sendeth forth the waves of the sea (which here and there break out in springs, leaving their saltness behind them), that men and other earthly creatures might have that υδωρ μεν αριστον (as Pindarus styleth it), for the satisfying of their thirst and for other necessary uses. This is David's philosophy, and his son Solomon saith the same, Ecclesiastes 1:7; though Aristotle assign another cause of the perennity of the fountains and rivers.
