Commentary
Gill's Exposition
When he prepared the heavens, I was there,.... Made, beautified, and adorned them; when he gave them their form, figure, magnitude, and motion; when he garnished them with the sun, moon, and stars; then was Christ present, not
as a mere spectator, but as a co-worker; see Heb 1:10 ; and even the third heaven, the place and state of glorified saints, prepared for them from the foundation of the world, Mat 25:34 ; when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: or "compassed the waters with bounds", as Job says, Pro 26:10 ; or made the earth with the sea globular, which make one terraqueous globe: or "made a circle" (p); all around it, called the circle of the earth, on which he sits, Isa 40:22 ; this compass may design the vast expanse or firmament of heaven, which is stretched and drawn around the terraqueous globe as a canopy or curtain. Christ was with his Father on the first day's creation of the heavens; and on the second day, when the firmament was made, and was before them both. (p) "describendo circulum", Montanus, Mercerus, Cocceius, Michaelis, Schultens.
