Psalm 104:1-9 “Bless the LORD, my soul. The LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind. He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire. He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever. You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains. At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them. You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.”

God is an awesome designer, and His majesty is shown throughout His creation! This Psalm seems to intentionally refer to the Genesis account of creation with its references to: light (2a); the separation between the sky and the earth (2b-4); the distinction between the land and water (5-13); the creation of vegetation and trees (14-18); light-bearers as time-keepers (19-24); sea creatures (25-26); land animals and man (21-24); and food for all creatures (27-30).

Psalm 136:3-9 “Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his loving kindness endures forever; to him who alone does great wonders, for his loving kindness endures forever; to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his loving kindness endures forever; to him who spread out the earth above the waters, for his loving kindness endures forever; to him who made the great lights, for his loving kindness endures forever; the sun to rule by day, for his loving kindness endures forever; the moon and stars to rule by night, for his loving kindness endures forever.”
