| Geneva Study Bible Thou coveredst it with the {c} deep as with a garment: the {d} waters stood above the mountains. (c) You make the sea to be an ornament to the earth. (d) If by your power you did not bridle the rage of the waters, the whole world would be destroyed. Wesley's Notes 104:6 The deep - In the first creation, Gen 1:2,9. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 6-9. These verses rather describe the wonders of the flood than the creation (Ge 7:19, 20; 2Pe 3:5, 6). God's method of arresting the flood and making its waters subside is poetically called a "rebuke" (Ps 76:6; Isa 50:2), and the process of the flood's subsiding by undulations among the hills and valleys is vividly described. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 104:1-9 Every object we behold calls on us to bless and praise the Lord, who is great. His eternal power and Godhead are clearly shown by the things which he hath made. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. The Lord Jesus, the Son of his love, is the Light of the world. |
