(6) For promotion . . .--The Authorised Version has here rightly set aside the pointing of the text, which, as the LXX. and Vulg., reads-- "For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the wilderness of mountains," a sentence which has no conclusion. The recurrence also of parts of the verb "to lift up" in Psalm 75:4-5; Psalm 75:7, makes in favour of taking harim as part of the same verb here, instead of as a noun, "mountains." That the word midbar (wilderness) might be used for "south," receives support from Acts 8:26. Ewald thinks the four points of the compass should be completed by inserting a conjunction, and taking the "desert" and "mountains" to represent respectively the south and north.
