Psalm 104:1
βBless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 104Meaning
The hymn begins with worship before describing creation. God's glory, not the created world itself, is the controlling focus.
The Creator clothed in majesty
The opening portrays God's splendor through light, heavens, clouds, wind, and flame.
Read carefully
It distinguishes the majestic Creator from the creation he governs.
Reflection
Let wonder move beyond the gift to gratitude toward the Giver.
