Commentary on Psalms 143:6

Theological / Devotional

As a thirsty land. As the land during a long period of drought opens in yawning cracks, as if parting its lips in mute pleadings for water to quench its thirst, so the psalmist longed for the showers of heaven to water his soul.

Selah. See on p. 629.
