27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
27 When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
27 And set Sky firmly in place, I was there. When he mapped and gave borders to wild Ocean,
27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
27 I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 8:27
Commentary on Proverbs 8:22-31
(Read Proverbs 8:22-31)
The Son of God declares himself to have been engaged in the creation of the world. How able, how fit is the Son of God to be the Saviour of the world, who was the Creator of it! The Son of God was ordained, before the world, to that great work. Does he delight in saving wretched sinners, and shall not we delight in his salvation?
