Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 7. When the morning stars sang together ] This must refer to some intelligent beings who existed before the creation of the visible heavens and earth: and it is supposed that this and the following clause refer to the same beings; that by the sons of God, and the morning stars, the angelic host is meant; as they are supposed to be first, though perhaps not chief, in the order of creation. For the latter clause the Chaldee has, "All the troops of angels." Perhaps their creation may be included in the term heavens, Gen. i. 1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." These witnessed the progress of the creation; and, when God had finished his work, celebrated his wisdom and power in the highest strains.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-11 - For the humbling of Job, God here shows him his ignorance, eve concerning the earth and the sea. As we cannot find fault with God' work, so we need not fear concerning it. The works of his providence as well as the work of creation, never can be broken; and the work of redemption is no less firm, of which Christ himself is both the Foundation and the Corner-stone. The church stands as firm as the earth.
