Context of Psalms 104:24

22But when the sun rises, they gather and lie down in their dens. 23Man goes out to his work, and to his labor until the evening. Adonai, how countless are Your works! In wisdom You made them all— the earth is full of Your creatures. 25There is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with gliding things innumerable, living creatures, both small and large. 26There, ships go to and fro. Leviathan—You formed to frolic there.

Commentaries on Psalms 104:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24O Lord, how manifold are thy works - In this verse there are three propositions: The works of the Lord are multitudinous and varied. They are so constructed as to show the most consummate wisdom in their design, and in the end for which they are formed. They are all God's property, and should be used only in reference to the end for which they were created. All abuse and waste of God's creatures are spoil and robbery on the property of the Creator.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24O Lord, how manifold are thy works! - literally, “how many.” The reference is to the “number” and the “variety” of the works of God, and to the wisdom displayed in them all. The earth is not suited up merely for one class of inhabitants, but for an almost endless variety; and the wisdom of God is manifested alike in the number and in the variety. No one can estimate the “number” of beings God has made on the earth; no one can comprehend the richness of…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-30Verses 19-30 We are to praise and magnify God for the constant succession of day and night. And see how those are like to the wild beasts, who wait for the twilight, and have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. 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. 24-2624-26. From a view of the earth thus full of God's blessings, the writer passes to the sea, which, in its immensity, and as a scene and means of man's activity in commerce, and the home of countless multitudes of creatures, also displays divine power and beneficence.
