The Prophet is assured, that all the power and strength, which opposed it self against the reformation and re-edification of Jerusalem should be laid level with the ground.1 So we may interpret (Psa. 144.5.) He toucheth the mountains and they smoke; the meaning is, when God doth but lay his hand upon great men, upon the mightiest of the world, he makes them smoke or fume, which some understand of their anger, they are presently in a passion, if God do but touch them. Or, we may understand it of their consumption. A smoking mountain will soon be a burnt mountain. In our language, to make a man smoke, is a proverbial, for destroying or subduing.
