_ _ 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). |

Terrible things — This may relate to what he did among the Egyptians, tho' it be not recorded, and afterward in the wilderness. Looked not for — Such things as we could never expect. Mountains — Kings, princes, and potentates, may metaphorically be understood by these mountains. |
