Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 104:5

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

He hath founded or established the earth upon its own bases or foundations, i. e. upon it self or its own weight, whereby it stands as fast and unmoveable, as if it were built upon the strongest foundations imaginable. Which is a stupendous work of Divine power and wisdom.

Out of its proper place, which is the lowest part of the World.

As long as the World continues.
