Notes

Psalms 104:24–26

The Lord’s works testify to his wisdom. All parts fit together (land and sea, night and day, land creatures and sea creatures). The Lord’s wisdom makes life orderly and wonderful.

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).
