Context of Psalms 104:30
28When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things. 29When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust. When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth. 31May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works. 32He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.

Commentaries on Psalms 104:30
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created - יבראון yibbareun, "They are created again." And thou renewest the face of the earth - Do not these words plainly imply a resurrection of the bodies which have died, been dissolved, or turned to dust? And is not the brute creation principally intended here? Is it not on this account it is said, Psalm 104:31, "the glory of the Lord shall endure for ever, (לעולם leolam )," to be manifest in those times which…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created - That is, New races are created in their place, or start up as if they were created directly by God.

Does God listen to the language of mere nature, even in ravenous creatures, and shall he not much more interpret favourably the language of grace in his own people, though weak and broken groanings which cannot be uttered? There is…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 27-3027-30. The entire dependence of this immense family on God is set forth. With Him, to kill or make alive is equally easy. To hide His face is to withdraw favor (Psa 13:1). By His spirit, or breath, or mere word, He gives life. It is His constant providence which repairs the wastes of time and disease.Read the comment
