This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1. Metonymically, the inhabitants of those parts of the earth, by comparing Exo_15:14. Or,



2. Properly, by comparing Psa_114:5-7. There was a great earthquake, as a token of God’s dreadful presence.



Dropped, i.e. poured down great showers, which accompanied those mighty thunders, as usually it doth. Was moved; or, dropped; which may be repeated out, of the former clause; was even melted or dissolved with fear. It is a poetical representation of the terribleness of God’s appearance.
