What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Augustine of Hippo
"Who covers with waters the upper parts thereof" [Psalm 104:3]. The upper parts of what? Of Heaven. What is Heaven? Figuratively only we said, the Divine Scripture. What are the upper parts of the Divine Scripture? The commandment of love, than which there is none more exalted. [Mark 12:31] But wherefore is love compared to waters? Because "the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given unto us." [Romans 5:5] Whence is the Spirit Himself water? …
Jerome
You who cover its upper parts with waters. Just as it is written in Genesis, that there are waters above the firmament, and likewise beneath. You who walk upon the wings of the winds. He signifies that God is present everywhere.
