Verse 28
28. When he established the clouds Stuart: “Fixed the clouds.” Patrick: “Made the watery clouds so firm in the air that they shall not fall down altogether, but by drops, upon the earth.”
Strengthened the fountains Septuagint, “Made secure,” which accords with what seems to be the idea in the next verse. Zockler renders the last clause, “When the fountains of the deep raged loudly.” Conant, “When the fountains of the deep became strong;” that is, in the sense of pouring forth; and maintains that the term fountains of the deep, according to the usus, refers to the outlets of the abyss of waters through which it breaks forth to the earth’s surface, forming streams and rivers.” Compare Ezekiel 31:4; Ezekiel 31:15; Genesis 7:11; Genesis 8:12; Genesis 49:25; Deuteronomy 33:13.
