To this Basil answers Hom. iii in Hexaem. that these words do not mean that these things like waters are rational creatures, but that "the thoughtful contemplation of them by those who understand fulfils the glory of the Creator." (St. Thomas Aquinas) Also, the mention of all these created things such as rivers, mountains, angels, etc. were to contruct an idea that it is God as the Creator, whereas those created things were often divinized.
