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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:27

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season (see Psalms 104:14 , Psalms 104:23 ). As cattle have "grass," and lions "meat," from God, so every kind of animal receives from the same source its proper food. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:27

Absolute dependence upon God. "These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them their meat in due season." All vegetable and animal life depends on appropriate food; and though sometimes the food is at the creature's hand, it usually has to be sought. God has arranged the economy of nature so that each creature is skilled to find its own food. The dependence of creation on the Creator may be made effective to an audience by an illustrative instance such as the following: The fox has... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:28

That thou givest them they gather; literally, thou givest to them; they gather. Thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good; or, "are satisfied with good" (Kay, Revised Version). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:28

God gives-we gather: harvest thanksgiving. I. GOD 'S GIFT IN THE HARVEST . God gives: 1 . The soil. 2 . The seed. 3 . The forces which make the seed extract the virtues of the soil. 4 . The sunshine, the rain, and the wind, which minister to the growth of the blade, and which ripen the grain. 5 . The intelligence which enables us to cultivate the ground, to acquire the art of agriculture ( Isaiah 28:26 ). II. OUR HUMAN SHARE IN IT . We... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 104:29

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled. If God withdraws the light of his countenance from any living thing, instantly it feels the loss. It is "troubled," cast down, confounded (comp. Psalms 30:7 ). Thou takest away their breath, they die. As the living things have life from God, so they have death from him. Not one of them perishes but he knows it, and causes it or allows it (see Matthew 10:29 ). And return to their dust. Return, i.e; to the dead matter out of which they were... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 104:27

These wait all upon thee - That is, These are all dependent on thee. It does not, of course, mean that they “wait” in the sense that they are conscious of their dependence on God, but that they are “actually” dependent. The original word implies the idea of “expecting” or “hoping,” and is so rendered in the Septuagint and Vulgate. They have no other ground of expectation or hope but in thee.That thou mayest give them their meat in due season - Their food at the proper time. That is, They are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 104:28

That thou givest them they gather - What thou dost place before them they collect. They have no resources of their own. They can invent nothing; they cannot vary their food by art, as man does; they cannot make use of reason, as man does, or of skill, in preparing it, to suit and pamper the appetite. It comes prepared for them direct from the hand of God.Thou openest thine hand - As one does who bestows a gift on another. The point in the passage is, that they receive it immediately from God,... read more
