1. How —The title of the collection repeated here, and in :- . covered . . . with a cloud —that is, with the darkness of ignominy. cast down from heaven unto . . . earth — ( Matthew 11:23 ); dashed down from the highest prosperity to the lowest misery. beauty of Israel —the beautiful temple ( Psalms 29:2 ; Psalms 74:7 ; Psalms 96:9 , Margin; Isaiah 60:7 ; Isaiah 64:11 ). his footstool —the ark (compare 1 Chronicles 28:2 ; Psalms 99:5 ; Psalms 132:7 ).
