Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Who laid the foundations of the earth; rather, as in the margin, who founded the earth upon her bases; i.e. fixed the earth in its place, on bases - not necessarily material bases - which keep it steadily where it is (comp. Job 26:7). That it should not be removed forever (comp. Psalm 93:1).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5?18) The work of the third day of Creation in its two great divisions. (1) The separation of the land and water (Psalm 104:5-9); (2) the clothing of the earth with grass, herbs, and trees (Psalm 104:10-18). The poet, however, ranges beyond the Mosaic account, and already peoples the earth with the living creatures of the fifth day. "It is not a picture of still life like that of Genesis, but a living, moving, animated scene" (Perowne).(5) Who laid . . .--Better, He fixed the earth on its foundations. (Comp. Job 38:4-6; Proverbs 8:29.)The inconsistency of this with Job 26:7, "He laid the earth upon nothing," need not cause difficulty. Both treatments are poetical, not scientific. The word foundations implies stability and endurance (comp. Psalm 82:5), as in Shakespeare's . . .
