Psalms 97:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The hills melted like wax - The fire of God seized on and liquefied them, so that they no longer opposed his march; and the mountains before him became a plain.

The Lord of the whole earth - אדון כל הארץ adon col haarets, the Director, Stay, and Support of the whole earth. The universal Governor, whose jurisdiction is not confined to any one place; but who, having created all, governs all that he has made.
