1 A meditation upon the mighty power,
7 and wonderful providence of God.
31 God's glory is eternal.
33 The prophet vows perpetually to praise God.
VERSE 1
- Bless.
This sublime poem on the works of God in creation and
providence, is ascribed to David in the LXX., Vulgate,
Ethiopic, Syriac, and Arabic; and as it opens and closes with
the same words as the preceding psalm, it is probable that it
was composed on the same occasion; and it is written as part
of it in nine MSS.

The stork is a species of the ardea or heron genus, about the
size of a goose in its body, but when erect, about three or
four feet high; its general color is white; extremity of the
wings, and small part of the head, black; legs, very long,
red, and naked a great way up; the toes four, long and
connected, with flat nails like those of a man; beak long,
jagged, red, and somewhat compressed; the upper and under
chaps both of a length, with a furrow from the nostrils: it
feeds on serpents, frogs, and insects, on which account it
might be deemed unclean; lays four eggs, and sits thirty days;
migrates about August, and returns in spring; and is
remarkable for its love to its parents, whom it never
forsakes, but feeds and cherishes when old; whence it had the
name {chaseedah,} which denotes kindness or piety, and stork,
from the Greek [ ,] natural affection.
VERSE 18
- the wild goats.
The {y„ƒl,} is the ibex, or rock goat, so called from {ƒlah,}
to ascend, because it is famous for mounting to the tops of
the highest rocks. Its general appearance is that of the tame
goat, of a dusky brown color; but the male is larger, with
long horns, bending backwards.
