Notes

Psalms 104:35

The Lord will remove all forms of evil that defile his creation.
The final phrase returns to the opening words of Psalm 104:1 (see also 103:1–2, 22; 146:1).

Psalms 104:31–35

The psalmist moves from describing the known creation to anticipating the new creation, when the Lord will renew the created order into a world without sinners.

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).
