An exhortation to praise God3. For his greatness 6. And for his goodness 8. And not to tempt him In His hand are the depths of the earth This phrase emphasizes God's sovereignty and control over all creation. The "depths of the earth" can refer to the most profound and inaccessible parts of the world, symbolizing the entirety of creation from the lowest to the highest. Biblically, the "depths" often represent chaos or the unknown, yet they are firmly within God's grasp, indicating His omnipotence. This imagery is consistent with other scriptures, such as Job 38:16, where God questions Job about the mysteries of the deep, highlighting His supreme knowledge and authority. The hand of God is a metaphor for His power and care, suggesting that nothing is beyond His reach or understanding. and the mountain peaks belong to Him Persons / Places / Events 1. God (Yahweh)The central figure in this verse, representing His sovereignty and creative power over all creation. 2. Depths of the Earth Symbolic of the most profound and hidden parts of creation, indicating God's dominion over all aspects of the world. 3. Mountain Peaks Representing the highest and most majestic parts of the earth, also under God's control and ownership. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty Over CreationRecognize that every part of creation, from the depths to the peaks, is under God's control. This should lead to a sense of awe and reverence for His power. Trust in God's Control Understanding that God holds the earth in His hand can bring comfort and assurance in times of uncertainty. Trust in His ability to manage the complexities of life. Worship and Praise Acknowledge God's majesty and power in worship. Let the knowledge of His dominion inspire heartfelt praise and adoration. Stewardship of Creation As God owns the earth, we are called to be responsible stewards of His creation. This involves caring for the environment and using resources wisely. Humility Before God Recognize our place in the grand scheme of creation. Humility should characterize our approach to God, acknowledging His greatness and our dependence on Him.(4) Deep places.--From a root meaning "to search," perhaps by digging. Hence either "mines" or "mineral wealth." Strength of the hills.--The Hebrew word rendered "strength" is rare, found only here and Numbers 23:22; Numbers 24:8 ("strength of an unicorn"), and Job 22:25 ("plenty of silver;" margin, "silver of strength"). The root to which the word is usually assigned means "to be weary," from which the idea of strength can only be derived on the lucus a non lucendo principle. Keeping the usual derivation, we may, with many critics, give the word the sense of "mines" or "treasures," because of the labours of extracting metal from the earth. This suits Job 22:25, and makes a good parallelism. But the LXX. and Vulg. have "heights," and by another derivation the Hebrew may mean shining, and so "sunny summit." With this agrees the rendering of the LXX. in Numbers 23:22; Numbers 24:8, and the rhythm is preserved by an antithetic parallelism, as in next verse. . . . Verse 4. - In his hand are the deep places of the earth; the strength of the hills is his also; rather, the summits of the mountains are his also. The meaning is that all the earth is his, from the highest heights to the lowest depths.Parallel Commentaries ...
