Psalm 95:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 95:5

The sea is his, and he made it
He made it, and therefore it is, and all creatures in it; he sets bounds to it, and its waves, and restrains the raging of it at his pleasure, ( Matthew 8:26 Matthew 8:27 ) ,

and his hands formed the dry land;
the whole world, all besides the sea, the vast continent; he is the Maker of it, and all creatures in it; without him was nothing made that is made; and, being the Creator of all things, is the proper object of worship, ( John 1:2 John 1:3 ) ( Romans 1:25 ) , as follows.
