Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
When—Supply from Isaiah 64:2, "As when."
terrible things— (Psalms 65:5).
we looked not for—far exceeding the expectation of any of our nation; unparalleled before (Exodus 34:10; Psalms 68:8).
camest down—on Mount Sinai.
mountains flowed—Repeated from Isaiah 64:1; they pray God to do the very same things for Israel now as in former ages. GESENIUS, instead of "flowed" here, and "flow" in Isaiah 64:1, translates from a different Hebrew root, "quake . . . quaked"; but "fire" melts and causes to flow, rather than to quake (Isaiah 64:2).
