Psalms 104:6

Psa 104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

Ver. 6. Thou coverest it with the deep as with a garment ] Operueras, Thou hadst at first covered it, till thou for man’s sake hadst made a distinction; for else such a garment would this have been to the earth as the shirt made for the murdering of Agamemnon, where he had no issue out.

The waters stood above the mountains ] As the garment, in the proper use of it, is above the body; and so they would still, did not God, for our sakes, set them their bounds and borders.
