He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
Ver. 18. He sendeth out his word, and melteth them] See Psalms 147:15. Of the force of God's word of command are given all the former instances, he can as easily melt the hardest heart by his Word, made effectual to such a purpose by his Holy Spirit. If that wind do but blow, the waters of penitent tears will soon flow, as in Josiah, 2 Chronicles 34:27. See Zechariah 12:10 .
