Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - As a man astonished; rather (comparing the Arabic dahama), as one struck dumb. But Dr. Payne Smith, with much reason, is more than half inclined to follow the Septuagint reading, equivalent to "as one in a deep sleep." Leave us not; literally, lay us not down; as if a burden of which the bearer is tired.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) As a man astonied.--The word so rendered is not found elsewhere, but cognate words in Arabic have the meaning of being startled and perplexed.Thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us.--After all, then, so the prophet's reviving faith tells him, Jehovah is more than the passing guest. He abides still among His people. He is as a mighty man, strong to save, though as yet He refrains from action.We are called by thy name.--Literally, as in the margin, Thy name is called upon us, i.e. (as in Isaiah 4:1; Isaiah 63:19; Isaiah 65:1), "we are still recognised as Thine, the people of Jehovah."
