Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Thou waterest its furrows abundantly; Thou settlest the ridges thereof: Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof." — Psalms 65:10 (ASV)
Thou waterest ... settlest. —Better, by watering ... settling.
Ridges ... furrows. —These terms would be better transposed, since by “settling” (literally, pressing down) is meant the softening of the ridges of earth between the furrows. The Septuagint and Vulgate have “multiply its shoots.”
Showers. —Literally, multitudes (of drops).
