For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Ver. 9. For he spake, and it was done] So true is that saying, Dei dicere est facere. For God to say is to do. And a great shame it is to men to disobey the great Creator; and not rather to follow the example of the unreasonable and insensible creatures.
And it stood fast] The whole order of nature remaineth as he set it; firm, fast, and unmoveable.
