When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
When thou criest - In the time of thy trouble.
Let thy companies deliver thee - namely, of idols, collected by thee from every quarter; or else, of foreigners, summoned to thy aid.
But the wind shall carry them all away - (Job 21:18; Matthew 7:27.)
Vanity shall take (them) - or, as the Septuagint and Vulgate (Hebrew, hebel (H1892)), a breath (Lowth).
But he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain - i:e., the literal land of Judea, and "mount" Zion: the believing remnant of Israel shall return and inherit the land. Secondarily, the heavenly inheritance and the spiritual Zion, Compare as to both the literal and the spiritual lsrael's inheritance, Isaiah 49:8; Psalms 37:9; Psalms 37:11; Psalms 69:35-36; Matthew 5:5; Hebrews 12:22. 'He that putteth his trust in me,' of whatever extraction, shall succeed to the spiritual patrimony of the apostate Jew (Horsley).
