Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 148:4

The ancients thought there was an ethereal and lofty ocean in which the worlds floated like ships in a sea. —Thomas Le Blanc.

Verses 5-6. This is the account of creation in a word —He spake; it was done. When Jesus came, he went everywhere showing his Divinity by this evidence, that his word was omnipotent. These verses declare two miracles of God's Will and Word, viz., the creation and consolidation of the earth. Jehovah first produced matter, then he ordered and established it. —John Lorinus.
