Psalm 104:34 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 104:31-35

The psalmist concludes this meditation with speaking, I. Praise to God, which is chiefly intended in the psalm. 1. He is to be praised, (1.) As a great God, and a God of matchless perfection: The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever, Ps. 104:31. It shall endure to the end of time in his works of creation and providence; it shall endure to eternity in the felicity and adorations of saints and angels. Man's glory is fading; God's glory is everlasting. Creatures change, but with the Creator... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 104:34

My meditation of him shall be sweet ,.... Of the glories, excellencies, and perfections of his person; of his offices, as Mediator, King, Priest, and Prophet, the Saviour and Redeemer; of his works of creation, providence, and redemption; of his word, the blessed truths and comfortable doctrines of it; of his providential dispensations, and gracious dealings with his people in the present state; which to meditate upon, when grace is in exercise, is very sweet, delightful, and comfortable.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:1-35

The greatness of God. This psalm, charged with the truest poetry, sings of the greatness of God ( Psalms 104:1 ) and of the heritage of man. The subjects are inseparably mingled. Of the former we have suggested to us - I. HIS GLORY . ( Psalms 104:1 , Psalms 104:2 , Psalms 104:31 .) II. HIS POWER . ( Psalms 104:3-9 .) The winds are his messengers; the fire is his servant; the clouds are his chariot; the waters flee at his command; the ocean stays at the bound he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:1-35

The heritage of man. The psalmist sings of the greatness of God ( supra ) , and also of the fair heritage bestowed upon us. This includes— I. SUFFICIENCY AND VARIETY OF FOOD . "These [all the living creatures, including man, that have been specified] wait on thee, that thou mayest give them their food," etc. ( Psalms 104:27 ); and the "herb" ( Psalms 104:14 ), for the service of man, stands for all the variety of fruits and vegetables with which our need is met and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:1-35

God's love for living creatures. This psalm celebrates and proves it. For, see— I. HE HAS PLACED THEM EVERYWHERE . The sea, the air, the land, all teem with it, as this psalm tells. And the lower life points to the higher, and proclaims that when God's will is done, that, too, shall fill earth and heaven. II. HE HAS ABUNDANTLY PROVIDED FOR THEM . Food, habitation, refuge ( Psalms 104:16-18 ). And Christ came, that we might have life, and have it more... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:33-35

The peroration (like the opening) is simple praise of God himself, considered in himself. All his life the psalmist will praise God ( Psalms 104:33 )—his soul shall praise him ( Psalms 104:35 ), he will be glad in him ( Psalms 104:34 ); finally, he calls upon all men to join in his praise ( Psalms 104:35 , last clause). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:34

My meditation of him shall be sweet; rather, may my meditation be pleasing to him! (Kay, Cheyne, Revised Version). I be glad in the Lord (comp. Psalms 32:11 ; Psalms 33:1 , etc.). Rejoicing in the Lord is a form of praising him. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:34

The blessed meditation of God. The text is true— I. BECAUSE SUCH MEDITATION SO AIDS BOTH KNOWLEDGE AND MEMORY . II. IT WARMS THE HEART . "Whilst I was musing the fire burned," etc. ( Psalms 39:1-13 .). III. DELIVERS US FROM SINFUL THOUGHTS . IV. ROUSES THE ENERGIES OF OUR WILL FOR DUTY . V. PROMOTES GREATLY OUR ADVANCE IN THE LIFE OF GOD . VI. PROFITABLY FILLS UP THE MARGINS AND ODD... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 104:34

My meditation of him shall be sweet - That is, I will find pleasure in meditating on his character and works. See the notes at Psalms 1:2. It is one of the characteristics of true piety that there is a “disposition” to think about God; that the mind is “naturally” drawn to that subject; that it does not turn away from it, when it is suggested; that this fills up the intervals of business in the day-time, and that it occupies the mind when wakeful at night. Psalms 63:6. It is also a... read more
