This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Terrors, to wit, from God, who sets himself against me, and in some sort joins his forces with these miscreants.
Are turned upon me; are directed against me, to whom they seem not to belong, as being the portion of wicked men.
My soul, Heb. my principal or excellent one, i.e. my soul, which is fitly so called, as being the chief part of man; as it is called a man’s glory, Gen_49:6, and his only one, Psa_22:20, and which is the proper seat and object of Divine terrors, as his body was of his outward pains and ulcers.
As the wind, i.e. speedily, vehemently, and irresistibly.
My welfare; all the happiness and comfort of any life.
As a cloud; which is quickly dissolved into rain, or dissipated by the sun, or driven away with the wind.
