There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
This verse is part of a song that praises God's wisdom in forming the sea and the creatures within it. The sea itself belongs to His wisely ordered world, and it is the place where ships make their way across the waters. Within those waters God placed the leviathan, which He created to play and move about in the sea. The living things of the sea, both great and small, display the abundance of His creation, and every creature looks to Him to supply its food. From the beginning, Adam was acquainted with these living creatures, from the mighty leviathan down to the tiniest insect, studying their natures and habits as a way of learning from what God had made.
