Some of the modern Jews deny there is any mention made of Angels, in Psal. 104.4. affirming, that the Subject the Psalmist treats of, are the Winds, with Thunder and Lightning, which God employs as his Messengers and Ministers, to do his Will and Pleasure. But that the Psalmist means the Angels, is evident from the Design and Scope of the Words.

The Consent of the ancient Jews lies against the Sentiments of the modern; both the old Translations, either made or embraced by them, expressly refer the Words unto Angels;1 so (Dr. Owen observes) do the Seventy; and so doth the Targum, thus rendering the Place: Who maketh his Messengers or Angels swift as Spirits, and his Ministers strong or powerful as a flaming Fire. The Supply of the Note of Similitude makes it evident that they understand the Text of Angels, and not of Winds; and of making Angels as Spirits, and not of making Winds to be Angels or Messengers, which is inconsistent with their Words.
