Hebraic Musing – Is Psalm 104 a Glorious description of Creation?
We are created beings. Reciting Psalm 104 verse by verse might be a
way for us to appreciate and thank Our LORD, our Creator, for Creating us. How much care did Our LORD give when He
created us? Let’s appreciate the Thoughtfulness
of the God of our Creation as described verse by verse in Psalm 104:
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you
are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. (NIV)
2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on
their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the
wind.
4 He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire
his servants.
5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can
never be moved.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a
garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7 But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the
sound of your thunder they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains, they went down
into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross; never
again will they cover the earth.
10 He makes springs pour water into the
ravines; it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water to all the
beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the air nest by
the waters; they sing among the branches.
13 He waters the mountains from his upper
chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.
14 He makes grass grow for the
cattle, and plants for man to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth:
15 wine that gladdens the heart
of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
16 The trees of the LORD are well watered, the
cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 There the birds make their nests; the stork
has its home in the pine trees.
18 The high mountains belong to
the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the coneys.
19 The moon marks off the seasons, (Biblical
calendar!) and the sun knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all
the beasts of the forest prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey and seek their
food from God.
22 The sun rises, and they steal
away; they return and lie down in their dens.
23 Then man goes out to his work, to his labor
until evening.
24 How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you
made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25 There is the sea, vast & spacious, teeming
with creatures beyond number - living things both large & small.
26 There the ships go to and fro, and the
leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.
27 These all look to you to give them their food
at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath, they die & return to the dust.
30 When you send your Spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may
the LORD rejoice in his works—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will
sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I
rejoice in the LORD.
35 But may sinners vanish from the earth
and the wicked be no more. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Points to Ponder
Did Jehovah Jireh, our
Provider, think of everything we, His Children, would need?
How Great is Our God? How Awesome is our God? How Caring is our God?
Maybe we need to learn to
read our Bible more slowly and thoughtfully?!?!
♫ What a mighty God we serve. Angels bow before Him.
Heaven and earth adore Him. What a
mighty God we serve! ♫
