Context of Psalms 104:31
29When you turn away from them, they become very afraid. When you take away their breath, they die and they return to the dust. 30But when you breathe into anything, it receives life. In that way, you bring new life to the earth. I pray that the glory of the Lord will continue for ever! I pray that the Lord will be happy with everything that he has made! 32When he looks down at the earth, it shakes! When he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke! 33All my life, I will sing to praise the Lord. I will always sing songs to praise my God, for as long as I live.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 31The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever - Margin, as in Hebrew, “shall be.” It might be rendered, “Let the glory of the Lord be for ever,” implying a strong desire that it should be so. But the language may denote a strong conviction that it would be so.
