Psalms 66:12

Ride over our heads. — For the figure comp. Isaiah 51:23.

We went through fire and water. — A figure of extreme danger. (Comp. Isaiah 43:2.)

A wealthy place. — The LXX. and Vulg., “to refreshment,” which is certainly more in keeping with the figures employed, and may perhaps be got out of the root-idea of the word, “overflow.” But a slight change gives the frequent figure “a broad place.”
