Psalms 115:16 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The heavens are the Lord's Namely, in a peculiar manner, where he dwelleth in that light and glory to which no man can approach, and whence he beholdeth and disposeth of all persons and things upon earth. But the earth Or, and the earth; he hath given to the children of men For their habitation, possession, and use. Thus, as the foregoing verse declared that God was the Creator of heaven and earth, so this asserts that he is also their Lord and Governor, and can dispose of them, and of all men and things, as he pleases.
