Psalm 104:33

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 104:1-35

Voices of Creation Psa 104:24-28 This is a great intellect in a contemplative mood. The appreciation of nature is the work of intellect; hence, in proportion as the human mind is cultivated, is nature found to be teeming with instruction and sources of enjoyment. Never, perhaps, was nature more graphically described than in the psalm before us. Facts are here turned into poetry. Divine power is celebrated in strains the most elevated and inspiring, while the exquisite adaptations of nature... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 104:33-35

These verses possess a peculiar and personal sweetness; and the Psalmist takes the whole home to himself. As if he had said I know not what others do, or what others may determine; but as, for me, and my house, I will serve the Lord; I will sing of the Lord, and to the Lord, forever and ever. And when life, and strength, and voice shall fail, while my heart can think, or memory remains, Jesus shall be my meditation. His name shall hang upon my lips with my last quivering breath. Oh! precious... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 104:31-35

31-35 Man's glory is fading; God's glory is everlasting: creatures change, but with the Creator there is no variableness. And if mediation on the glories of creation be so sweet to the soul, what greater glory appears to the enlightened mind, when contemplating the great work of redemption! There alone can a sinner perceive ground of confidence and joy in God. While he with pleasure upholds all, governs all, and rejoices in all his works, let our souls, touched by his grace, meditate on and... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 104:1-35

Praise of God for His Work in the Kingdom of Nature. The psalmist, probably David, as in the preceding psalm, celebrates the glory of God in the works of His creation and providence. v. 1. Bless the Lord, O my soul, a powerful self-encouragement, like in the preceding psalm. O Lord, my God, Thou art very great, full of royal splendor and majestic glory; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty, these constituting the royal garment visible in all parts of the created universe; v. 2. who... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 104:1-35

Psalms 104:01 Bless the Lord, O my soul.O Lord my God, thou art very great;Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:Who maketh the clouds his chariot:Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:4 Who maketh his angels spirits;His ministers a flaming fire.5 Who laid the foundations of the earth,That it should not be removed for... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 104:24-35

the Almighty’s Open Hand Psalms 104:24-35 The psalmist says nothing of the operation of the great laws of nature, but passes behind and beyond to the Great Hand which opens to fill and satisfy all living things with good. The personality of God is the moving force behind the thin veil of outward appearance. This is in striking contrast with much of the thinking and speaking of the present day, which practically exclude the Creator from his own creation. But there is no real opposition... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 104:1-35

Again we have a great song of praise commencing and closing with the same note of personal praise. While in the former the dominant note is that of the mercy of Jehovah, here it is that of His majesty. The former is the song of love to Love. This is the song of loyalty to Royalty. The psalm opens with a declaration of the essential greatness of God, and then proceeds in poetic language to describe the manifestations of His greatness in creation. All through, beneficent purpose is recognised.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 104:1-35

CIV. The Glory of the Creator. Psalms 104:1-Numbers : . Yahweh’ s power in the heavens. He is clothed in the light which God made first ( Genesis 1:3) before the heavenly bodies.

Thence He issues from time to time in person riding on the clouds ( Isaiah 19:1), or else sends His message by wind or flame. Psalms 104:5-1 Samuel : . Separation of land and sea. Psalms 104:10-Job : . God’ s care for man and... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 104:1-35

INTRODUCTION“This Psalm,” says Calvin, “differs from the last, in that it neither treats of God’s special mercies bestowed on His Church, nor lifts us to the hope of a heavenly life; but painting for us in the frame of the world, and the order of nature, the living image of God’s wisdom, power, and goodness, exhorts us to praise Him, because in this our frail mortal life He manifests Himself to us as a Father.” In the former Psalm God is praised as the God of grace, in this as the God of... read more
