For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
All Commentaries on Psalms 24:2 Go To Psalms 24
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Founded, or created it (Berthier) upon (Hebrew hal. "above, in, near, to, with"; Amama) the seas, like a floating island, Proverbs viii. 29., Jonas ii. 7., Job xxxviii. 11. This was the language of the ancients: Ipsa natat tellus Pelagi lustrata corona. (Manil. Astr. 4.) The earth was at first covered with water, Genesis i. 9., and Psalm ciii. 6. (Calmet)
Seas and caverns have received part of it, which was poured out again at the deluge. Several have rejected the antipodes, falsely supposing that there is water all under the earth, which the Scripture does not assert. (Amama) (Haydock)
