Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 27:25

_ _ sing of thee — personification; thy great merchant ships were palpable proofs of thy greatness. Others translate from a different Hebrew root, “were thy (mercantile) travelers.” Fairbairn translates, “Were thy walls.” But the parallelism to “thou wast glorious” favors English Version, “sing of thee.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 27:1-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 27:25

The ships — The ships from all parts of the sea. Did sing — Had their songs to commend thy state.
