From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For thus saith the Lord -This verse is designed to induce them to put uuwavering confidence in the true God. For this purpose, the prophet enumerates the great things which God had done in proof that he alone was A mighty, and was worthy of trust. He hath established it -That is, the earth. The language here is derived from the supposition that the earth is laid upon a foundation, and is made firm. The Septuagint renders this, ‘God who displayed the earth to view, and who, having made it, divided it (διώρισεν αὐτὴνdiōrisenautēn) that is, parcelled it out to be inhabited. This accords well with the scope of the passage.
