Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. The heathen raged ] There had been terrible wars on all hands, and mighty states were crushed, when the poor Jews were, by the especial favour of God, kept in peace and safety. Kingdoms were moved while they were preserved.
He uttered his voice ] These words seem to refer to thunder, lightning, and earthquake. The expressions, however, may be figurative, and refer to the wars and desolations already mentioned. God gave the command; and one empire was cast down, and another was raised up.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - Come and see the effects of desolating judgments, and stand in awe of God. This shows the perfect security of the church, and is an assuranc of lasting peace. Let us pray for the speedy approach of these glorious days, and in silent submission let us worship and trust in our almight Sovereign. Let all believers triumph in this, that the Lord of hosts the God of Jacob, has been, is, and will be with us; and will be ou Refuge. Mark this, take the comfort, and say, If God be for us, who can be against us? With this, through life and in death, let us answe every fear _________________________________________________
