It highlights God's power over the natural world, a theme consistent throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/job/38-8.htm">Job 38:8-11</a>, where God sets boundaries for the sea. The act of piling up waters can also symbolize God's ability to bring order out of chaos, a concept seen in the creation narrative of <a href="/genesis/1-2.htm">Genesis 1:2</a>, where the Spirit of God hovers over the waters. This imagery is a reminder of God's omnipotence and His ability to intervene miraculously in human history.<p><b>He puts the depths into storehouses.</b><br>This phrase suggests God's control over the deep, often associated with chaos and the unknown in ancient Near Eastern thought. The "depths" or "tehom" in Hebrew, can refer to the primordial waters present before creation, as seen in <a href="/genesis/1-2.htm">Genesis 1:2</a>. By placing these depths into storehouses, God demonstrates His authority to contain and manage even the most formidable aspects of creation. This concept is echoed in <a href="/proverbs/8-27.htm">Proverbs 8:27-29</a>, where wisdom describes God setting limits for the sea. The imagery of storehouses also appears in <a href="/job/38-22.htm">Job 38:22</a>, where God stores snow and hail, further emphasizing His meticulous governance over creation. This control over the depths can be seen as a type of Christ, who calms the storm in <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>, showing His divine authority over nature.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is depicted as the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the universe, demonstrating His power over the natural world.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sea.htm">The Sea</a></b><br>Represents the vast and often chaotic natural world, which God controls and orders according to His will.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/storehouses.htm">Storehouses</a></b><br>Symbolic of God's ability to contain and manage the elements of creation, reflecting His wisdom and authority.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>Recognize that God has ultimate control over the natural world, and nothing is beyond His power or understanding.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/order_in_chaos.htm">Order in Chaos</a></b><br>Trust that God brings order out of chaos, both in the natural world and in our personal lives, and that He has a purpose for everything He does.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_and_protection.htm">God's Provision and Protection</a></b><br>Reflect on how God provides for and protects His creation, storing up resources and setting boundaries for our benefit and safety.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_in_god's_power.htm">Faith in God's Power</a></b><br>Strengthen your faith by remembering God's past acts of power and deliverance, knowing He is capable of doing the same today.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/stewardship_of_creation.htm">Stewardship of Creation</a></b><br>As stewards of God's creation, we are called to respect and care for the natural world, recognizing it as a testament to His glory and power.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_33.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 33</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_bermuda_triangle.htm">What is the Bermuda Triangle?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_god_calm_seas_fit_science.htm">(Psalm 65:7) How do we align the idea of God calming oceans with modern scientific understanding of natural weather patterns?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/psalm_87_7__how_are_all_'springs'_in_zion.htm">Psalm 87:7 - In what sense are all 'springs' in Zion, given that historically rivers and water sources are not exclusive to Jerusalem?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_jordan_stop_flowing_in_joshua_3_13.htm">How could the Jordan River have stopped flowing on command as described in Joshua 3:13 without a natural explanation?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/33.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) <span class= "bld">As an heap.</span>--The image explains itself (so we speak of waves "mountains high ") without reference to the passage either of the Red Sea or the Jordan.
