Verse 10. Creeping things. In public worship all should join. The little strings go to make up a concert, as well as the great. --Thomas Goodwin.
Verse 10. Flying fowl. Thus the air is vocal. It has a hallelujah of its own. The "flying fowl" praise him; whether it be "the stork that knoweth her appointed time" ( Jeremiah 8:7 ), or "the sparrow alone upon the housetop" ( Psalms 102:7 ), or "the raven of the valley" ( Proverbs 30:17 ), or the eagle "stirring up her nest, and fluttering over her young" ( Deuteronomy 32:11 ), or the turtle making its voice to be heard in the land ( Song of Solomon 2:12 ), or the dove winging its way to the wilderness ( Psalms 105:6 ). This is creation's harp (truer and sweeter than Memnon's) which each sunrise awakens, "turning all the air to music." -- Horatius Bonar, in "Earth's Morning; or, Thoughts on Genesis", 1875.
