Notes

Psalms 104:9–10

The Lord rules over all waters, including seas, rivers, and springs on the land. He brought order to the waters that were once chaotic. As a result, the earth became a rich place for animals and people. Water refreshes the ground and provides life for birds and other animals.

Psalms 104:1–35

This creation hymn (see also Psalms 8, 33, 145) praises God's goodness and greatness. The psalmist thinks about the current world, the original creation, and a future new creation. He views both creations as wonderfully and wisely made (compare Psalm 139:14), as the work of the Lord's Spirit (104:30; Genesis 1:2; 2 Corinthians 3:6).
