From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

To him that by wisdom made the heavens -Made them in so wise a manner; where so much wisdom was manifested. SeeProverbs 3:19;Proverbs 8:24-31. For his mercy ... -The making of the heavens was a manifestation of mercy and goodness as furnishing an abode for unfallen and holy beings; as a dwelling-place for redeemed sinners when they shall be removed there from the earth; and as, by their order, their beauty, their harmony, and their happy influences, tending to promote the happiness of man on earth.
