詩編 33:7

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.33.1" class="versetxt"> 1 正しき者よ、主によって喜べ、さんびは直き者にふさわしい。2 琴をもって主をさんびせよ、十弦の立琴をもって主をほめたたえよ。3 新しい歌を主にむかって歌い、喜びの声をあげて巧みに琴をかきならせ。4 主のみことばは直く、そのすべてのみわざは真実だからである。5 主は正義と公平とを愛される。地は主のいつくしみで満ちている。6 もろもろの天は主のみことばによって造られ、天の万軍は主の口の息によって造られた。7 主は海の水を水がめの中に集めるように集め、深い淵を倉におさめられた。8 全地は主を恐れ、世に住むすべての者は主を恐れかしこめ。9 主が仰せられると、そのようになり、命じられると、堅く立ったからである。10 主はもろもろの国のはかりごとをむなしくし、もろもろの民の企てをくじかれる。11 主のはかりごとはとこしえに立ち、そのみこころの思いは世々に立つ。12 主をおのが神とする国はさいわいである。主がその嗣業として選ばれた民はさいわいである。13 主は天から見おろされ、すべての人の子らを見、14 そのおられる所から地に住むすべての人をながめられる。15 主はすべて彼らの心を造り、そのすべてのわざに心をとめられる。16 王はその軍勢の多きによって救を得ない。勇士はその力の大いなるによって助けを得ない。17 馬は勝利に頼みとならない。その大いなる力も人を助けることはできない。18 見よ、主の目は主を恐れる者の上にあり、そのいつくしみを望む者の上にある。19 これは主が彼らの魂を死から救い、ききんの時にも生きながらえさせるためである。20 われらの魂は主を待ち望む。主はわれらの助け、われらの盾である。21 われらは主の聖なるみ名に信頼するがゆえに、われらの心は主にあって喜ぶ。22 主よ、われらが待ち望むように、あなたのいつくしみをわれらの上にたれてください。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap,.... Which was done on the third day of the creation, by means of which the dry land appeared, Genesis 1:9; when the waters of the sea were piled up as an heap, and stood higher than the earth, as they now do; and which is a wonderful instance of the power and providence of God, to bound them, and preserve the earth from being overflowed by them,

Job 38:9;

he layeth up the depth in storehouses; that is, large quantities of water, for which he has his treasure houses, as for the wind, hail and snow, Psalms 135:7; and these are the clouds of heaven above, and the fountains of the great deep below, which the Lord opens and stops at his pleasure; see Genesis 7:11.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap - The Hebrew word here rendered “gathereth” is a participle; “gathering.” The design is to represent this as a continuous act; an act not merely of the original creation, but constantly occurring. The reference is to the power by which the waters are gathered and kept together; the continual power which prevents their overspreading the earth. The word rendered “heap” - נד nêd - means properly a heap or “mound,” and is applied to the waves of the sea heaped up together like mounds. Compare Joshua 3:13, Joshua 3:16; Exodus 15:8 : Psalms 78:13. He collected those waters, and kept them in their places, as if they were solid matter. This denotes the absolute control which God has over the waters, and is thus a most striking illustration of his power.

He layeth up the depth in storehouses - The abysses; the deep waters; the masses of water. He places them where he pleases; he disposes of them as the farmer his grain, or the rich man his treasures. The caverns of the ocean - the ocean-beds - are thus vast reservoirs or treasure-houses for the reception of the waters which God has chosen to deposit there. All this is proof of his amazing power, and all this lays a proper foundation for praise. Occasions for gratitude to him may be found in every world that he has made; in every object that has come from his hand; and nothing more “obviously” suggests this than his wondrous power over the waters of the ocean - collecting them, restraining them, controlling them, as he pleases.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:7. He gathereth the waters of the sea together — He separated the water from the earth and, while the latter was collected into continents, islands, mountains, hills, and valleys, the former was collected into one place, and called seas; and by his all-controlling power and providence the waters have been retained in their place, so that they have not returned to drown the earth: and he has so adapted the solar and lunar influence exerted on the waters, that the tides are only raised to certain heights, so that they cannot overflow the shores, nor become dissipated in the atmospheric regions. In this one economy there is a whole circle of science. The quantity of matter in the sun, moon, and in the earth, are all adjusted to each other in this astonishing provision: the course of the moon, and the diurnal and annual revolutions of the earth, are all concerned here; and so concerned, that it requires some of the nicest of the Newtonian calculations to ascertain the laws by which the whole is affected.
