Psalms 24:2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

For he hath founded it Justly have I said, that the earth is the Lord's, for he made it, and laid the foundation of it, and that in a wonderful manner; upon the seas By the seas and floods he means the whole collection of waters, as well the sea and rivers running into it as that great abyss of waters which is contained in the bowels of the earth. This is here mentioned as an evidence of God's wise and gracious providence, that he hath erected so vast a building upon so weak a foundation as the waters are: for “the waters which, at the creation, and again at the deluge, overspread all things, being, by the power of God, driven down into the great deep, and there confined, the earth was, in a wonderful manner, constructed and established as a kind of circular arch upon, or over them.” Horne.
