Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 104:34

My meditation; or, my speech, or discourse; my praising of God, mentioned Psalms 104:33. Of him; concerning the glory of his works. Shall be sweet; either, 1. To God; he will graciously accept it; praise being his most acceptable sacrifice, as is affirmed, Psalms 69:30,Psalms 69:31. Or rather, 2. To myself, as may be gathered from the next clause. He implies that he shall not only do this work, which a man may do unwillingly, or by constraint, but that he will do it cheerfully, and with... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 104:34

Psalms 104:34 Meditation is the calm and quiet dwelling of the mind upon a great fact till that fact has time to get into the mind and pervade it with its influence. Meditation is the quiet thinking on single truths, the steady setting of attentive thought drawn away from other things and concentrated on this alone. I. The words of the text imply a personal relationship; that is, the relation of the human person who thinks towards a Divine Person on whom he meditates. All through it is the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Psalms 104:33-34

DISCOURSE: 675THE DUTY OF PRAISING GODPsalms 104:33-34. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.IT is well that we have in the Holy Scriptures a record of the experience of former saints: for, on the one hand, we should be inclined to rest in low attainments, if we did not know to what heights others had attained; and, on the other hand, we should be condemned for aiming at... read more

Meditation on God Summer, 1858 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "My meditation of him shall be sweet." Psalms 104:34 . David, certainly, was not a melancholy man. Eminent as he was for his piety and for his religion, he was equally eminent for his joyfulness and gladness of heart. Read the verses that precede my text, "I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord." It has often... 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

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

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 104:34

Psalms 104:34My meditation of Him shall be sweet. Meditation upon GodI. The meditations of a pious man--he meditates on God. Meditation is the action of the thoughts upon subjects which present themselves to the mind. As man is by nature, the quality of his thoughts is said to be evil.
