Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - He maketh them also to skip like a calf (comp. Psalm 18:7).

It may relate to the mountains instead of the cedars, and some commentators divide the clauses thus: "He maketh them skip; like a calf Lebanon, and Sirion like a young buffalo." It is not, however, necessary to suppose, with some, that an earthquake accompanies the storm; the apparent movement of the hills beingintroduced to heighten the effect of the violence of the tempest.
