"And trusted not in his salvation:/ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,/ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven./ Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full."
This Psalm can be taken as a warning the Spirit has laid out while setting Salvation Plan of God in terms of the heaven and the earth. Specifically he is addressing Israel, which as a nation did not trust in his salvation. He gave them the bread from heaven as he did with water in the wilderness. "He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths./ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers." (vv.15-16). St Paul refers to the rock 'as spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."(1 Co.10:4) The Spirit in keeping with the Salvation Plan set in motion, speaks of the rock as spiritual, signifying how we are to approach the narrative. So God when cleaving the rocks in the wilderness refers to 'the great depths', which does not mean from depths of the earth in the normal speaking but he adds next to it, 'caused waters to run down like rivers'. His footsteps are not known so "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden" is merely extending the waters above the firmament which as a body of water refers to the mercies of God.(Ge.2:10;Ps.77:19). When the Spirit says, "The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. The Lord sits enthroned over the flood" it merely underscores the sovereignty of the Lord God. The earth and the fulness thereof belong to God. (Ps.29:10)
