_ _ men to ride over our heads — made us to pass.

_ _ through fire, etc. — figures describing prostration and critical dangers (compare Isaiah 43:2; Ezekiel 36:12).

_ _ wealthy — literally, “overflowing,” or, “irrigated,” and hence fertile.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 66:8-12.

To ride — To use us like slaves.
