13. He watereth the hills. As the mountains are too
high to be watered by rivers and brooks, the Lord himself refreshes them from those
waters above the firmament which the poet had in a former verse described as
the upper chambers of heaven. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. The result of the divine working is fullness everywhere, the soil is
saturated with rain, the seed germinates, the beasts drink, and the birds
sing—nothing is left unsupplied. So, too, is it in the new creation; he giveth
more grace, he fills his people with good, and makes them all confess, “of his fullness have all we received and grace for grace.”
