The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of [his] glory.
Ver. 9. The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve] Which they naturally do not without a great deal of difficulty, Job 39:4,6. See Trapp on "Job "39:4" See Trapp on "Job "39:5" See Trapp on "Job "39:6"
And discovereth the forests] By driving the beasts into their dens, baring the forests of their leaves and fruits, turning up trees by the roots, and so making a clear prospect through woods and groves, as one phraseth it.
And in his temple doth every one speak of his glory] Heb. every one, or, every whit of it, saith Glory; every godly man observing his dreadful thunder, and other his stupendous works, saith Glory be to God on high. Some conceive this psalm was appointed by David to be sung in the temple in time of thunder; which is not unlikely (Moiler.). There are that make God to be the nominative case to the verb speaketh, and render it thus; and in his temple, or palace, doth he utter all his glory (Tremel.). As if the psalmist should say, Much of his glory God uttereth in his thunder; but all in his temple. For whatsoever there he speaketh with his mouth he fulfilleth it with his hand, Psalms 115:3; Psalms 119:91; Psalms 33:9 Isaiah 44:26. See a like collation of God's works and word, with a praelation of this above those, Psalms 19:1,7; Psalms 111:7 .
