Psalm 104:19

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 104:1-35

Praise of God for His Work in the Kingdom of Nature. The psalmist, probably David, as in the preceding psalm, celebrates the glory of God in the works of His creation and providence. v. 1. Bless the Lord, O my soul, a powerful self-encouragement, like in the preceding psalm. O Lord, my God, Thou art very great, full of royal splendor and majestic glory; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty, these constituting the royal garment visible in all parts of the created universe; v. 2. who... read more

Psalms 104:01 Bless the Lord, O my soul.O Lord my God, thou art very great;Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:Who maketh the clouds his chariot:Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:4 Who maketh his angels spirits;His ministers a flaming fire.5 Who laid the foundations of the earth,That it should not be removed for... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 104:13-23

a Habitation for Beast and Man Psalms 104:13-23 Where there is true love for God, there will be a glad and rejoicing heart that takes pleasure in the study of His works. The loving child of a great artist lingers about his studio, watches with eager interest the development of picture or statue, and speaks with delight to others of her father’s work. It is in such a spirit that those who know God in daily fellowship and communion follow the psalmist to mountain streams, to the pastures and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 104:1-35

Again we have a great song of praise commencing and closing with the same note of personal praise. While in the former the dominant note is that of the mercy of Jehovah, here it is that of His majesty. The former is the song of love to Love. This is the song of loyalty to Royalty. The psalm opens with a declaration of the essential greatness of God, and then proceeds in poetic language to describe the manifestations of His greatness in creation. All through, beneficent purpose is recognised.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 104:19

For seasons; to measure and distinguish the times, both months, and, amongst many nations, years also; as also the seasons of divers natural events, as of the ebbing and flowing of the waters, and of the humours in man’s body; and other seasons for sacred and civil affairs, which were commonly regulated by the moon, not only amongst the Jews, but among heathens also. See Poole "Genesis 1:14". His going down, to wit, the time and place in which he is to set every day of the year, which, though... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 104:1-35

INTRODUCTION“This Psalm,” says Calvin, “differs from the last, in that it neither treats of God’s special mercies bestowed on His Church, nor lifts us to the hope of a heavenly life; but painting for us in the frame of the world, and the order of nature, the living image of God’s wisdom, power, and goodness, exhorts us to praise Him, because in this our frail mortal life He manifests Himself to us as a Father.” In the former Psalm God is praised as the God of grace, in this as the God of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 104:1-35

Psalms 104:1-35 And thus he begins the hundred and fourth psalm,Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty: You have covered yourself with light as with a garment: who stretched out the heaven like a curtain ( Psalms 104:1-2 ):I love this picturesque kind of speech. God covers Himself with light. The scripture speaks of God as dwelling in a light, unapproachable. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the light," and who stretched out... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 104:1-35

This psalm has no title in the Hebrew, but it is ascribed to David by the LXX, and by most of the Versions. It celebrates the works of God in the creation of the world, and in strains worthy of the royal psalmist. Psalms 104:2 . With light as with a garment. St. Paul says, “he dwelleth in light.” He said in the creation, “Let there be light.” He appeared of old in glory, and in a cloud. The heathen poets represent the gods as appearing clothed in luminous clouds, or with a rainbow. Psalms... read more
