SCRIPTURE
"Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth." — 2 Samuel 22:8 (ASV)
Of heaven. —Psalms 18:0, of the hills. The thought is the same, but the strong poetic figure by which the mountains are spoken of as the pillars of heaven is softened in the psalm.
