Psalms 104:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 104:4

2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

3 ^aHe lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,

4 Who makes His¹ angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire.

5 You who¹ laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,

6 You ^acovered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.

8 ¹They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.

9 You have ^aset a boundary that they may not pass over,
^bThat they may not return to cover the earth.

10 He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
