Haydock's commentary
Ends. Literally, "the hinges," or poles, cardines. (Haydock)
Hebrew, "roots;" Aristotle (Meteor. ii. 1.) and Hesoid (Theog. 727,) use the same term, (Calmet) to denote the fountains which supply the sea. (Haydock)
Who ever discovered these deep recesses? Eliu describes a thunder-storm, when the sea is covered with darkness. He intimates that the pavilion of God, though hidden from us by the clouds, is not destitute of light. (Calmet)
God inhabits light inaccessible. (Haydock)
