On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

As the rays of the sun, which are darted directly from heaven, reflect back (though more weakly) from the earth, so should the praises of God, with which this cold and infected world should be warmed and perfumed. Even those creatures that are not dignified with the powers of reason are summoned into this concert, because God may be glorified in them,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

If we look up into the atmosphere we meet with a great variety of meteors, which, being a king of new productions (and some of them unaccountable), do in a special manner magnify the power of the great Creator. There are fiery meteors; lightning is fire, and there are other blazes sometimes kindled which may be so called.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The call on the earth, as opposed to heaven, includes seas or depths, whose inhabitants the dragon, as one of the largest (on leviathan, see on Ps 104:26), is selected to represent. The most destructive and ungovernable agents of inanimate nature are introduced.
