Psalm 104
Before reading the following, read through the psalm. It is a literary masterpiece unequaled in Scripture and adds a poetic flow to the Genesis 1 account of creation.
This song of creation is similar to Job 38, Job 39, Psalm 8, and Psalm 29 (also read the study on Psalm 8).
The psalm can be seen as an expression of the greatness and splendor of God.
Verse 1-this is a call to praise (the psalm is sandwiched with this call-see verse 35)
Verses 1-4-God is infinite
Verses 5-9-He created the land and seas
Verses 10-18-He cares for His creation by providing food and drink
Verses 19-23-He created the heavens to help regulate the earth
Verses 24-26-He created the sea creatures
Verses 27-30-All things that He created are totally dependent on Him
Verses 31-35-a summary of the call to praise God
Stop, go outside, and praise God for the creation you see.
