27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
27 When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
27 And set Sky firmly in place, I was there. When he mapped and gave borders to wild Ocean,
27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
27 I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.
9 You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.
9 You set boundaries between earth and sea; never again will earth be flooded.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth.
9 Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.
(Read Psalm 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.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 8:27
Commentary on Proverbs 8:22-31
(Read Proverbs 8:22-31)
The Son of God declares himself to have been engaged in the creation of the world. How able, how fit is the Son of God to be the Saviour of the world, who was the Creator of it! The Son of God was ordained, before the world, to that great work. Does he delight in saving wretched sinners, and shall not we delight in his salvation?
