7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

The “waters” and “depth” seem to be used in the same mystical sense as in Gen. I: 2. The plural “storehouses” would then have additional force as indicating worlds and systems. This seems to connect naturally with verse 6.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the in-habitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the

thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

He “fashioneth their hearts alike.” This points to unity of psychological nature — a natural law
