Psalms 104:5 Meaning and Commentary
Psalms 104:5
FOOTNOTES:
F12 (hynwkm le) "super bases ejus", Montanus, Musculus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; so the Tigurine version, Gejerus, Michaelis.
Who laid the foundations of the earth
Or "founded the earth upon its bases" F12; which some take to be the waters, according to ( Psalms 24:2 ) , others the centre of gravity in it; others the mountains; others the circumambient air, by which it is poised; rather the almighty power of God, by which it subsists; this is the work of Christ the Almighty; see ( Hebrews 1:3 Hebrews 1:10 ) .
That it should not be removed for ever:
for though it may be shaken by earthquakes, yet not removed; nor will it be until the dissolution of all things, when it shall flee away before the face of the Judge, and a new earth shall succeed, ( Revelation 20:11 ) ( 21:1 ) .
F12 (hynwkm le) "super bases ejus", Montanus, Musculus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; so the Tigurine version, Gejerus, Michaelis.

Psalms 104:5 In-Context
3
you set the beams of your chambers on the waters, you make the clouds your chariot, you ride on the wings of the wind,
4
you make the winds your messengers, fire and flame your ministers.
5
You set the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never be shaken.
6
You cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7
At your rebuke they flee; at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.
