When was the last time you were amazed by God? This Psalm reminds us to look at this world that God has created and be amazed at His greatness. It reminds us to see how God has exalted man in all of His creation. And most amazingly, as provided salvation for sinful man.

1. “O Jehovah my God,
You Are Very Great!”
Psalm 104, CB OT p. 946-948

2. “O Jehovah my God,
You Are Very Great!”
Psalm 104, CB OT p. 946-948
When was the last time you were overwhelmingly
amazed by God?

3. Bless Jehovah, O my soul! O Jehovah my God you are
very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
covering yourself with light as with a garment,
stretching our the heavens like a tent.

4. He lays the beams of His chambers on the waters; He
makes the clouds His chariots; He rides the wings of
the wind

5. He makes His messengers winds,

6. His ministers a flaming fire.

7. He set the earth on its foundation, so that it should
never be moved.

8. You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the
waters stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke
they fled; at the sound of your thunder they took to
flight.

9. the mountains rose

10. the valleys sank down to the place that you appointed
from them.

11. You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that
they might not cover the earth.

12. You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow
between the hills;

13. they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild
donkeys quench their thirst.

14. Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing
among the branches

15. From Your lofty abode You water the mountains;

16. the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your work

17. You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and

18. plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth
food from the earth

19. and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make
his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart

20. The trees of Jehovah are watered abundantly,
the cedars of Lebanon that He planted.

21. In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her
home in the fir trees.

22. The high mountains are for the wild goats;

23. the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

24. He made the moon to mark the seasons;

25. the sun knows its time for setting.

26. You make darkness, and it is night

27. when all the beasts of the forest creep about.

28. The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food
from God.

29. When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in
their dens.

30. Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the
evening.

31. O Jehovah, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom
have You made them all; the earth is full of your
creatures.

32. Here is the sea, great and wide,

33. which teems with creatures innumerable, living things
both small and great

34. There go the ships,

35. and Leviathan, which You formed to play in it.

36. These all look to You, to give them food in due season.
When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You
open Your hand, they are filled with good things.

37. When You hide Your face, they are dismayed; when You
take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

38. When you send forth Your Spirit, they are created,

39. and You renew the face of the ground.

40. May the glory of Jehovah endure forever; may Jehovah
rejoice in His works, who looks on the earth and it
trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!

41. I will sing to Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing praise
to my God while I have being. May my meditation be
pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in Jehovah.

42. “Let sinners be consumed
from the earth, and let the
wicked be no more!”
Psalm 104.35, CB OT p. 948

43. “Bless Jehovah, O my soul!
Praise Jehovah!”
Psalm 104.35,
CB OT p. 948

45. Observe

46. “For what can be known
about God is plain to
them, because God has
shown them.”
Romans 1.19, CB NT p. 265

47. “For His invisible attributes,
namely, His eternal power
and divine nature, have been
clearly perceived, ever since
the creation of the world, in
the things that have been
made.”
Romans 1.20, CB NT p. 265

48. And God saw everything that he had made, and
behold, it was very good.

49. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights with whom
there is no variation or shadow due to change.

50. Praise God!

52. Contrast: theory of evolution. We are on our own in this
world.

53. Exaltation of God as Creator

54. Exaltation of man in God’s creation

56. The sinners and the wicked are the primary blight on
all of God’s creation.

57. Through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, all of us who are
wicked and sinners can be saved.

58. Will today be the
day you choose to
accept God’s gift?
