Psalm 104:27-32 “These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust. You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground. Let the LORD’s glory endure forever. Let the LORD rejoice in his works. He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.”

God’s absolute authority and sovereignty are on display. “These” refers to the sea animals that are completely dependent on God for their lives and their food. We see another allusion to the creation account with, “you send out your Spirit and they are created.”

Genesis 1:1-2 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.”

Creation is something that gives God pleasure and speaks to His glory, and it should move us in such a way that we experience awe and want to praise His name!
