His roots are wrapped about the heap.
1The word in the Hebrew signifies, to roll, or to bring things together, to put them up in a heap. Hence the Verb is used for that act of the soul in believing, whereby a Christian gathers himself together, and all that he hath, and lays it upon the Lord, Psal. 22.8. He trusted in the Lord; the Hebrew is, He rolled himself upon the Lord. Hence it is translated to signify; First, a tempest wherein the winds roll and are enfolded together. Secondly, a wave of the sea, which is a rolling water. Thirdly, as here a heap, because in a heap, a great many stones are gathered or rolled together. As Gen. 31.47. after that contest and debate of Laban with Jacob about his departure, Jacob said, Let us gather stones together, or roll stones together, and make an heap; and Laban gave it a name, he called it, J•ger-shahadutha, which is to say, A heap of witness, because these stones were rolled together for a witness.
