Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) A morning without clouds.--This description of the blessings of the ideally perfect government is closely connected with the Divine promise made through Nathan (2 Samuel 7). David recognises that the ruler of God's people must be just, and here, as in Psalms 72, the highest blessings are depicted as flowing from such a government. David knew far too much of the evil of his own heart and of the troubles in his household to suppose that his ideal could be perfectly realised in any other of his descendants than in Him who should "crush the serpent's head "and win the victory over the powers of evil. The sense of the verse will be made clearer by the following translation: "And as the light of the morning when the sun ariseth, a morning without clouds; as by means of sunlight and by means of rain the tender grass grows from the earth:--is not my house so with God?"Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewis like the lightוּכְא֥וֹר (ū·ḵə·’ō·wr)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-k | Noun - common singular constructStrong's 216: Illumination, luminaryof the morningבֹּ֖קֶר (bō·qer)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1242: Dawn, morningat sunriseשָׁ֑מֶשׁ (šā·meš)Noun - common singularStrong's 8121: The sun, the east, a ray, a notched battlementof a cloudlessלֹ֣א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nodawn,בֹּ֚קֶר (bō·qer)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1242: Dawn, morningthe glisteningמִנֹּ֥גַהּ (min·nō·ḡah)Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5051: Brilliancyafter the rainמִמָּטָ֖ר (mim·mā·ṭār)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4306: Rainon the sprouting grassדֶּ֥שֶׁא (de·še)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1877: A sprout, grassof the earth.’מֵאָֽרֶץ׃ (mê·’ā·reṣ)Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 776: Earth, landJump to PreviousBrightness Clear Clouds Dawns Earth Forth Grass Light Making Morning Rain Rises Riseth Rising Shining Springeth Springing Springs Sun Sunrise Sunshine Tender Young
