Tehillim 65 — Why Do the Streams Not Run Dry?

Tehillim 65:10 “Pakadta ha'aretz vateshokekeha rabat tashrenah, peleg Elokim male mayim, tachin deganam ki chen techineha” — (You remember the earth and water it, greatly enriching it; G-d's stream is full of water, and You prepare its grain, for so You have prepared it.) Rabbi Meir said to the Samaritan: “Is it possible that ‘G-d's stream is full of water’ has remained so since the six days of Creation, with nothing having been lost?” [Rabbi Meir] said to him: “Go wash yourself, weigh yourself before you go, and weigh yourself afterward.” He went and weighed himself, and nothing had diminished. [Rabbi Meir] said to him: “Does the sweat that comes out not come from you?” The Samaritan said to him: “Yes.” [Rabbi Meir] said to him: “And here you are, made of flesh and blood, and nothing diminishes from you. How much more so with the Holy One, blessed be He. Therefore, ‘G-d's stream is full of water’ has remained so since the six days of Creation, and nothing has diminished.” Rabbi Yohanan said: “The Holy One, blessed be He, took all the primordial water and placed half in the firmament and half in the ocean. Concerning this it is written: ‘Stream (peleg)’ — half (palga).” (Midrash Rabbah 4:4)
