Context of Psalms 104:31
29You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their spirit, they expire And return to their dust. 30You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground. Let the glory of the Lord endure forever; Let the Lord be glad in His works; 32He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 33I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

And if mediation on the glories of creation be so sweet to the soul, what greater glory appears to the enlightened mind, when contemplating the great work of redemption!
