In spite of their past use to oppose Copernicanism, I Chronicles 16:30,
Psalm 93:1, and Psalm 104:5 do not appear to be concerned with celestial
mechanics. They contain no hint of addressing the relationship of the
earth to other bodies. The poets appear to be making an analogy with a
building that is so well constructed that it can't be shaken off its
foundation.
