Ps.'ciii. 4. As in the text the article is prefixed to angels and ministers, and not to spirits and flame of fire, the former should be considered the subjects, the latter the predicates. It maybe rendered, "Who maketh His angels as the winds, and His ministers as a flame of fire." God gives to the angels the speed of the winds, and to the same, who minister at His throne, the power of a burn- ing flame. Martini gives this interpretation, together with the more common one.
