From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He maketh them also to skip like a calf -That is, the cedars of Lebanon. ComparePsalms 114:4, “The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.”Psalms 68:16, “why leap ye, ye high hills?” The meaning is plain. The lightning tore off the large branches, and uprooted the loftiest trees, so that they seemed to play and dance like calves in their gambols. Nothing could be more strikingly descriptive of “power.” Lebanon and Sirion -Sirion was the name by which Mount Hermon was known among the Sidonians:Deuteronomy 3:9, “Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion.” It is a part of the great range of Anti-libanus.
