This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
When thou criest - In the time of thy trouble.
companies - namely, of idols, collected by thee from every quarter; or else, of foreigners, summoned to thy aid.
wind ... carry ... away - (Job 21:18; Mat 7:27).
vanity - rather, “a breath” [Lowth].
possess ... land ... inherit - that is, 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 (Isa 49:8; Psa 37:9, Psa 37:11; Psa 69:35, Psa 69:36; Mat 5:5; Heb 12:22). “He that putteth his trust in Me,” of whatever extraction, shall succeed to the spiritual patrimony of the apostate Jew [Horsley].
