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. 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, of which see Genesis 7:11, Genesis 49:25 2 Peter 3:5. This is here mentioned as an evidence of God's wise, and powerful, and gracious providence, that he hath built so vast a building upon so weak a foundation as the waters are, Micah 6:2; and that although the waters are lighter than the earth, and therefore are naturally inclined to be above it, as they were at first; yet God hath so far overruled the inclinations of nature, that the waters shall as it were deny themselves, and run down into channels and caverns of the earth, that so the earth may be a convenient habitation for men and beasts. See Genesis 1:9 Exodus 20:4 Psalms 104:6.
