The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Ver. 6. The heathen raged] Among themselves, and against the Church (Christ mystical, as Psa 2:1-2) with great three and fury: Quia ab ascensore suo Daemone perurgentur, as Bernard giveth the reason, because the devil rideth them, and spurreth them on.
The kingdoms were moved] To remove and root out the Church, but that will not be; because in the thing wherein they deal proudly God is above them. See those three sweet similitudes, Zechariah 12:2,3; Zechariah 12:6 .
He ultered his voice] Thunder struck the enemies, and saved his people by a miracle of him mercy, Psalms 18:6,7 .
The earth melted] Contra naturam suam, quia est arida, saith Aben Ezra; against the nature thereof, for it is dry. By the earth some understand the enemies, who had almost filled the whole land with their multitudes.
