For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Founded it upon the seas - rather, 'above the seas ... above the floods' (Genesis 1:9-10; Job 38:8; 2 Peter 3:6). Thereby He made it a dry and habitable world. Note, last clause, Psalms 24:1. It is the inhabited and replenished earth that Psalms 24:1-2 refer to. The sense is not, He, hath founded it on subterranean seas. "Founded" refers to its creation; "established," to its continuous preservation.
