buildeth: Psalms 104:3, Psalms 104:13
stories: or, spheres, Heb. ascensions, Maaloth: "upper chambers," which in eastern houses are the principal apartments. Perhaps there is a reference here to the various systems which God has created in illimitable space, transcending each other as the planets do in our system.
troop: or, bundle, Genesis 2:1 Aguddah: probably is the same as the Arabic ijad: "an arch, vault," and may here denote the vault of heaven, or atmosphere, which God "hath founded, or established, upon, or over, al: the earth," and into which "he calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth."
calleth: Amos 5:8; Genesis 7:11-19; Jeremiah 5:22
The Lord: Amos 4:13; Exodus 3:14-15
