Depths, ranges; the explorable regions of the earth under God's sovereign control
This term appears in Psalm 95:4, celebrating God's universal sovereignty: 'In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks are His also.' The word describes ranges or regions that can be explored or searched—perhaps the deep places of the earth, its foundations, or its extent. The psalm contrasts depths with heights (mountain peaks), encompassing all vertical space under divine control. Whether understood as physical depths or geographical ranges, the term contributes to comprehensive imagery of God ruling from earth's lowest to highest points.
