You set all the boundaries of the earth This phrase emphasizes God's sovereign authority and creative power. The Hebrew word for "set" is "שׂוּם" (sum), which conveys the act of establishing or appointing. This suggests intentionality and purpose in God's creation. The "boundaries of the earth" can be understood both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it refers to the physical limits of the land and sea, as seen in Genesis 1:9-10, where God gathers the waters to reveal dry land. Metaphorically, it speaks to the order and structure God has imposed on creation, ensuring stability and balance. Historically, ancient cultures often viewed their gods as responsible for the natural order, but this verse distinctly attributes such power solely to the God of Israel, reinforcing His supremacy over all creation.
