Psalms33:7

Verſ. 7. Hee gathereth the waters of the Sea together] Confining them to their concave, to the pit he digged for them. Ecce altera miſericordia, ſaith kimchi here, Behold another mercy; without the which the earth would be inhabitable, unleſſeby fiſhes only; becauſe the waters would cover the earth.

As an heap] This ſheweth that the Sea is higher than the Earth. Saylers obſerve, that their ſhips flie faſter to the ſhore than from it, whereof what other reaſon can be given but the height of the waters above the land?

Hee layeth up the depth in ſtore-houſes] In his treaſuries; that is, he ſecretly hideth them, and limiteth then to a certain place (that they overwhelm not the earth) by his Almighty power, Jer. 5.22. Job 38.16. See there.
