Psalms 104:26 - Exposition

There go the ships. These may seem out of place among the works of God. But are they not his, in a certain sense? Did he not contemplate them when he made the sea, and make it to some extent for them? And did he not give men wisdom to invent and perfect them? There is that leviathan. "Leviathan" is here probably the whale, which may in early times have frequented the Mediterranean. Which thou hast made to play therein ; or, to play with him. So the LXX . ( ἐμπαίζειν αὐτῷ ); and, among moderns, Ewald, Hitzig, Olshausen, Kay, Cheyne, and our Revisers. The anthropomorphism is not beyond that of other passages.
