Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - Let the floods clap their hands. This bold metaphor occurs only here and in Isaiah 55:12, where the "trees" are asked to "clap their hands." Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord; or, sing for joy together; i.e. join with the rest of nature in expressing gladness.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Clap their hands.--This expression, descriptive of the lapping sound of waves, occurs also in Isaiah 55:12.Let the hills be joyful together.--"Far along,From peak to peak, the rattling crags among,Leaps the live thunder! Not from one long cloud,But every mountain now hath found a tongue,And Jura answers through her misty shroudBack to the joyous Alps who call to her aloud."BYRON: Childe Harold, canto iii.
