Psalms 72:16. Upon the top of the mountains;
That is a bad place for corn; surely it will die there; the winter snows will chill it; and, exposed to every stormy blast it will never fill the arm of the reaper. But is it so? Listen: -
Psalms 72:16. The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:
Just as there are peculiar noises heard in a great forest when the wind sweeps through it, - there is an allusion to this in the Hebrew, - there should be such an abundance of fruit from this handful of corn that, as when the forest bows its head before the whirlwind, so shall there be heard a sound as of God rushing among the multitude of his saints.
Psalms 72:16. And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
They shall be so many that one might as well attempt to count the blades of grass as to reckon the number of God’s saints.
