Psalm 104:26
“There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 104Meaning
Human vessels and the great sea creature both inhabit a domain under God's sovereignty. Leviathan is not a rival deity in this hymn.
The sea, creatures, provision, and the breath of life
The psalm surveys the sea and all creatures, emphasizing dependence on God's provision and life-giving breath.
Read carefully
Its literary function is to place even the formidable sea creature within God's ordered creation.
Reflection
Let the verse produce humility rather than forced certainty.
