Commentary on Psalms 33:7

Theological / Devotional

Heap. Heb. ned, the word used to describe the waters in Ex. 15:8 and Joshua 3:13–16 in the narrative of the crossing of the Red Sea and of the Jordan. Some translators regard ned as a shorter form of no’d, “skin-bottle” (see RSV). No’d appears in the sentence, “Put thou my tears into thy bottle” (Ps. 56:8). This interpretation is supported by several ancient versions.

In storehouses. Compare Job 38:8–11; Jer. 5:22.
