Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 104:5

"Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever." — Psalms 104:5 (ASV)

Who laid ... — Better, He fixed the earth on its foundations. (Proverbs 8:29).

The inconsistency of this with Job 26:7, He laid the earth upon nothing, need not cause difficulty. Both treatments are poetical, not scientific. The word foundations implies stability and endurance , as in Shakespeare’s

“The frame and huge foundation of the earth.”
The verse has a historical interest from having supplied the Inquisition with an argument against Galileo.
