Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 8. Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours ] All kinds of meteors, water, and fire, in all their forms and combinations. And air, whether in the gentle breeze, the gale, the whirlwind, the tempest, or the tornado; each accomplishing an especial purpose, and fulfilling a particular will of the Most High.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-14 - Even in this world, dark and bad as it is, God is praised. The power of nature, be they ever so strong, so stormy, do what God appoint them, and no more. Those that rebel against God's word, show themselve to be more violent than even the stormy winds, yet they fulfil it. Vie the surface of the earth, mountains and all hills; from the barren top of some, and the fruitful tops of others, we may fetch matter for praise. And assuredly creatures which have the powers of reason, ough to employ themselves in praising God. Let all manner of persons prais God. Those of every rank, high and low. Let us show that we are his saints by praising his name continually. He is not only our Creator but our Redeemer; who made us a people near unto him. We may by "the Horn of his people" understand Christ, whom God has exalted to be Prince and a Saviour, who is indeed the defence and the praise of all his saints, and will be so for ever. In redemption, that unspeakabl glory is displayed, which forms the source of all our hopes and joys May the Lord pardon us, and teach our hearts to love him more an praise him better _________________________________________________
