Commentaries on Psalms 104:35
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more - Or, He shall consume the wicked and ungodly, till no more of them be found. Then the wicked shall be turned into hell, with all the nations that forget God. No wonder, with these prospects before his eyes, he cries out, "Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Hallelujah!" And ye that hear of these things, bless the Lord also.Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3535. Those who refuse such a protector and withhold such a service mar the beauty of His works, and must perish from His presence. Praise ye the Lord--The Psalm closes with an invocation of praise, the translation of a Hebrew phrase, which is used as an English word, "Hallelujah," and may have served the purpose of a chorus, as often in our psalmody, or to give fuller expression to the writer's emotions. It is peculiar to Psalms composed after the…Read the comment
