As the dew of Hermon: Mr. Maundrell says, "We were sufficiently instructed by experience what the holy Psalmist means by 'the dew of Hermon,' our tents being as wet with it as if it had rained all night." Some suppose that Zion here means a part of Mount Hermon (Deuteronomy 4:48); but it is not written Sion here, but Zion, which is at Jerusalem. Deuteronomy 3:8-9, Deuteronomy 4:48; Joshua 13:11

for there the Lord: Psalms 42:8; Leviticus 25:21; Deuteronomy 28:8

even life: Psalms 16:11, Psalms 21:4; John 4:14, John 5:24, John 5:29, John 6:50-51, John 6:68, John 11:25-26; Romans 5:21; Romans 6:23; 1 John 2:25, 1 John 5:11; Revelation 1:18
