Psalms 104:9 - Exposition

Thou hast set (or, didst set ) a bound that they may not (rather, might not ) pass over (comp. Job 38:10 , Job 38:11 ; Jeremiah 5:22 ). The Deluge is for the time beyond the ken of the poet, who is singing God's greatness in nature, and in the general laws under which he has placed it. Neither turn again to cover the earth. This law, once Broken by the miracle of the Deluge, was thenceforth made absolute and inviolable ( Genesis 9:15 ).
