Psalm 104:5

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Who laid the foundations of the earth,.... Or "founded the earth upon its bases" {l}; which some take to be the waters, according to Psalms 24:2, others the centre of gravity in it; others the mountains; others the circumambient air, by which it is poised; rather the almighty power of God, by which it subsists; this is the work of Christ the Almighty; see Hebrews 1:3.

that it should not be removed for ever: for though it may be shaken by earthquakes, yet not removed; nor will it be until the dissolution of all things, when it shall flee away before the face of the Judge, and a new earth shall succeed, Revelation 20:11.
