Verse 6
He maketh them also to skip like a calf ,.... That is, the cedars, the branches being broken off, or they torn up by the roots, and tossed about by the wind; which motion is compared to that of a calf that leaps and skips about;
Lebanon and Sirion, like a young unicorn ; that is, these mountains move and skip about through the force of thunder, and the violence of an earthquake attending it; so historians report that mountains have moved from place to place, and they have met and dashed against one another F4 Plin. Nat. Hist. l. 2. c. 83. Joseph. Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. . Sirion was a mountain in Judea near to Lebanon, and is the same with Hermon; which was called by the Sidonians Sirion, and by the Amorites Shenir, Deuteronomy 3:9 . This may regard the inward motions of the mind, produced by the Gospel of Christ under a divine influence; see Isaiah 35:6 .
