The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 104:31

Psalms 104:31The Lord shall rejoice in His works. God’s joy in His worksWith the spirit in which the psalmist penned these words, it may be, we have too infrequent and imperfect familiarity. Compelled to frequent acquaintance with grief, we may find the avenues of joy not sufficiently opened up to us.I. Consider then these “works of the Lord” which rejoice Him. Some of them rejoice us, when we see their use, their beauty, their perfectness. There is a treasure of satisfaction in some of the... read more

Psalms 104:32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth. God can shake the worldEarthquakes certainly teach us that human existence in this world is entirely dependent upon God. Probably no natural experience impresses the mind as completely with the sense of utter insecurity. A traveller in South America gives a graphic account of his own helplessness during one of these terrible convulsions. He was in the street when the ground began to rock under his feet. His first impulse was to seek refuge... read more

Psalms 104:33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live.A joyous faithThe Oriental life differed in a very marked degree from our modern life. For one thing, it was spent more in the open air than is possible in these colder climates; it was a simpler life, coming into contact with nature, open to the influences which nature is sure to have upon the sensitive mind. We gain something, possibly, by living in great cities, but we certainly forfeit something also; we know man better, we are... read more

Psalms 104:34My meditation of Him shall be sweet. Meditation upon GodI. The meditations of a pious man--he meditates on God.

Psalms 104:35O my soul The soul (to children)I.You have a soul. A stone can be seen and felt, weighed and measured; but it has no life. A flower is superior to a stone, because it has a certain kind of life. A dog is more valuable than a flower, because he possesses a higher form of life. He has all the five senses which you have. He has also instinct and sagacity, by which he does a great many wonderful things. Now, your bodies are not so hard as the stone; they are not so beautiful as the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 104:16

Psa 104:16 The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; Ver. 16. The trees of the Lord are fall of sap ] Heb. are satisfied, viz. with moisture, sucked by their roots out of the earth plentifully watered, whereby they are nourished, grow mightily, and serve man for meat, drink, medicine, &c.

Psa 104:17 Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir trees [are] her house. Ver. 17. Where the birds make their nests ] Each, according to their natural instinct, with wonderful art. As for the stork ] That Pietaticultrix, as Petronius calleth her (and her name in Hebrew soundeth as much), because she nourisheth and cherisheth the old ones whereof she came; whence αντιπελαργειν , Genetricum senectam invicem educant (Plin.).

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 104:18

Psa 104:18 The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies. Ver. 18. The high hills are a refuge ] These wild, but weak, creatures are so wise, as to secure themselves from violence; when pursued they run to their refuges; and should not we to God, for the securing of our comforts, and safeguarding of our persons? read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 104:19

Psa 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. Ver. 19. He appointed the moon for seasons ] Most nations reckoned the year by the moon, rather than by the sun. The sun knoweth his going down ] As if he were a living and intelligent creature; so justly doth he observe the law laid upon him by God, and runs through his work. See Job 38:12 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 104:20

Psa 104:20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth]. Ver. 20. Thou makest darkness ] Which, though it be dreadful, yet is it useful, and in the vicissitude of light and darkness much of God’s wisdom and goodness is to be seen. We must see that we turn not the day into night, nor night into day, without some special and urgent occasion. read more
