Thou didst march through the land in indignation; thou treadest the earth in.fury. The mighty Judge stalks over the earth (Habakkuk 3:6; comp. 5:4; Psalms 68:7). It is a general statement, and not to be confined to the successes of Joshua and the destruction of the Canaanites.
Septuagint, ἐν ἀπειλῇ ὀλιγώσεις γῆν, with the alteration of a letter," Thou wilt bring low the land with threats." Thou didst thresh the heathen (nations) in anger; Septuagint, ἐν θυμῷ κατάξεις ("thou wilt break in pieces") ἔθνη.
Jerome here renders the verb, obstupefacies; but elsewhere, as Isaiah 28:28; Hosea 10:11; Amos 1:3, he uses triturare which gives the best meaning. The kindred figure is found in Micah 4:13; Isaiah 63:1, etc.
