Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Then thou shalt see "Then shalt thou fear" - For tirai , thou shalt see, as ours and much the greater number of the translators, ancient and modern, render it, forty MSS. (ten ancient) of Kennicott' s, and twenty-eight of De Rossi' s, with one ancient of my own, and the old edition of 1488, have tirai , thou shalt fear: the true reading, confirmed by the perfect parallelism of the sentences: the heart ruffled and dilated in the second line answering to the fear and joy expressed in the first. The Prophet Jeremiah, Jeremiah 33:9, has the same natural and elegant sentiment: -
"And this city shall become to me a name of joy;
A praise and an honor for all the nations of the earth;
Which shall hear all the good that I do unto them:
And they shall fear, and they shall tremble, at all the goodness
And at all the prosperity that I procure unto her."
And David: -
"I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalms 139:14
His tibi me rebus quaedam divina voluptas
Percipit atque horror .
Lucret. 3:28.
Recenti mens trepidat metu,
Plenoque Bacchi pectore turbidum
Laetatur .
Hor. Carm. 2:19. 50:5.
