Psalm 104:10 ASV

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:10

He sendeth the springs into the valleys; rather, into the water courses, or torrent beds—dry for the greater part of the year, but deriving life and beauty from the springs which, after rain has fallen, flow into them. Which run among the hills; literally, between the hills ( i.e. the hill slopes on either side) they wend their way. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 104:10

He sendeth the springs into the valleys - Though the waters are gathered together into seas, yet God has taken care that the earth shall not be dry, parched, and barren. He has made provision for watering it, and by a most wise, wonderful, and benevolent arrangement, he has formed springs among the valleys and the hills. It is now animated nature which comes before the eye of the psalmist; and all this he traces to the fact that the earth is “watered,” and that it is not a waste of rocks and... read more

Psalms 104:10-11. He sendeth the springs “The waters of the sea are not only prevented from destroying the earth, but, by a wonderful machinery, are rendered the means of preserving every living thing which moveth thereon. Partly ascending from the great deep, through the strata of the earth, partly exhaled in vapour, from the surface of the ocean, into the air, and from thence falling in rain, especially on the tops and by the sides of the mountains, they break forth in fresh springs,... read more

Psalms 104:0 God’s earthThe theme of this song of praise is the wisdom and power of God as seen in nature. The song begins by considering the splendour of the heavens. The light of the sun, the expanse of sky reaching down to meet the earth on the horizon, the movement of clouds blown by the wind, the flashes of lightning - all these things speak of the magnificence of God who dwells in and rules over the universe (1-4).Land and sea also display the greatness of God. He determined where they... read more

THE THIRD DAY OF CREATION"He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;They run among the mountains;They give drink to every beast of the field;The wild asses quench their thirst.By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;They sing among the branches.He watereth the mountains from his chambers:The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,And herb for the service of man;That he may bring forth food out of the earth.And wine that maketh glad... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 104:10

10-13. Once destructive, these waters are subjected to the service of God's creatures. In rain and dew from His chambers (compare :-), and fountains and streams, they give drink to thirsting animals and fertilize the soil. Trees thus nourished supply homes to singing birds, and the earth teems with the productions of God's wise agencies, read more

Psalms 104This psalm of descriptive praise is quite similar to Psalms 103. Both begin and end with similar calls to bless God. However, God’s dealing with people is the subject of praise in Psalms 103, whereas His creation and sustenance of the world are the theme of Psalms 104."The structure of the psalm is modelled [sic] fairly closely on that of Genesis 1, taking the stages of creation as starting-points for praise. But as each theme is developed it tends to anticipate the later scenes of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 104:10-18

God also caused springs to gush forth in the valleys so that the animal world could find water and drink. In other words, God provided graciously for His creatures’ needs. The song of the birds appears to be a song of praise to God for His provision (Psalms 104:12 b). God causes the vegetable world to produce for the benefit of His creatures as well. Clearly man’s ability to grow food depends on God’s more basic provisions. Wine makes people feel good, olive oil makes them look good, and food... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 104:1-35

This is a Ps. of Nature, celebrating God’s glory as seen in His works both inanimate and animate. It is an expansion of the closing vv. of Psalms 103, and like that Ps. begins and ends with the phrase, ’Bless the Lord, O my soul!’ The two Pss. are probably the work of the same author. Psalms 104 follows to some extent the order of the creation-poem in Genesis 1, and may be compared also with Job 38-41. Psalms 104:5-9, Psalms 104:19 speak of the creation of the world, but the greater part of the... read more
