Psalms 104:5 Context
3Who layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, who maketh the cloudes his charet: who walketh vpon the wings of the wind. 4Who maketh his Angels spirits: his ministers a flaming fire. 5Who laid the foundations of the earth: that it should not be remoued for euer. 6Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters stood aboue the mountaines. 7At thy rebuke they fled: at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 104:5
104:5 Who laid - Heb. he hath established the earth upon its own basis, whereby it stands as fast and unmoveable, as if it were built upon the strongest foundations. Forever - As long as the world continues. God has fixt so strange a place for the earth, that being an heavy body, one would think it should fall every moment. And yet which way so ever we would imagine it to stir, it must, contrary to the nature of such a body, fall upwards, and so can have no possible ruin, but by tumbling into heaven.
