Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 104:9

9 Thou hast set a bound , that they may not pass over: that they turn not again to cover the earth .

Even the sand of the Sea-shore, as it is expressed Ier. 5. 22. which, though in it self contemptible, and a very poor defence to the Earth against that swelling and raging Element, yet by Gods Almighty Power and gracious Providence is made sufficient for that purpose. Which is noted as a wonderful work of God Iob 38. 8, &c.

To wit, the whole Earth, as it did in the beginning of the Creation. This was Gods appointment and the course of nature setled by him. But when men transgressed their bounds, all the laws of God and men, it is not strange if the waters also transgressed their bounds, and once again overwhelmed the Earth in the general Deluge.
