In v.6 "Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment." The Holy Spirit is referring to the foundations in the preceding verse. Foundations of the earth as with a garment refers to the Law of the Spirit, so it shall abide forever. The fulness of God whether expressed as foundation or as light, "Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain" is the Son who is the express image of his person. Garment of righteousness enfold two worlds alike, the unseen and the world made to appear, and it is Person specific.
Seven as a command number refers to the Law of the Spirit. This Law shall judge the beast with seven heads. In order to indicate it he has ten horns; so has the red dragon. By the same token we can explain the Ancient of days as the Word. (The Word was God). "Seven foundations as with seven days refer to the Law, the Ancient of days. It is thus the Spirit gives him a fiery throne in Dan.7 and a voice."and his voice as the sound of many waters."(Re.1:15) The word of God reaches the deep so 'at thy rebuke' the water obey. So laws of nature take orders from the Law of the Spirit. "the waters stood above the mountains./At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away." Voice and thunders that St John referred reach them so "that they turn not again to cover the earth."(v.9) Instead of coming back from where they come, " They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them./Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over."(vv.8-9)
His mercies cover the earth. " He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works."
