God Cares for His Creation…

In Psalm 104 God through the writer of the Psalm does an eloquent job of describing how he cares for creation:

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

O Lord my God, thou art very great;

thou art clothed with honor and majesty.

Who coverest thyself with light as

with a garment:

who stretchest out the heavens

like a curtain:

who layeth the beams of his

chambers in the waters:

who maketh the clouds his 

chariot:

who walketh upon the wings of

the wind:

who maketh his angels spirits;

his ministers a flaming fire:

Who laid the foundations of the

earth,

that it should not be removed for ever,

Thou coveredst  it with the deep as

with a garment:

the waters stood above the

mountains.

At thy rebuke they fled;

at the voice of thy thunder they

hasted away.

They go up by the mountains; they

go down by the valleys

unto the place where thou hast

founded for them.

Thou hast set a bound that they

may not pass over;

that they turn not again to cover

the earth.

He sendeth the springs in the 

valleys,

which run among the hills.

They give drink to every beast of

the field:

the wild asses quench their thirst.

By them shall the fouls of the

heaven have their habitation,

which sing among the branches.

He watereth the hills from his

chambers:

the earth is satisfied with the fruit 

of thy works.

He causeth the grass to grow for

the cattle,

and herb for the service of man:

that he may bring forth food out

of the earth;

And wine that maketh glad the

heart of man,

and oil to make his face to shine,

and bread which strengtheneth 

man’s heart.

The trees of the Lord are full of sap;

the cedars of Lebanon, which he

hath planted;

Where the birds make their nests:

as for the stork,

the fir trees are her house.

The high hills are a refuge for the

wild goats;

and the rocks for the conies.

He appointed the moon for

seasons:

the sun knoweth his going down.

Thou makest darkness, and it is

night:

wherein all the beasts of the

forest do creep forth.

The young lions roar after their

prey,

and seek their meat from God.

The sun ariseth, they gather

themselves together,

and lay them down in their dens.

Man goeth forth unto his work

and to his labour until the evening.

O Lord, how manifold are thy

works!

In wisdom hath thou made them all:

the earth is full of thy riches.

So is this great and wide sea,

wherein are things creeping

innumerable,

both small and great beasts .

There go the ships:

there is that leviathan, who thou

hast made to play therein.

These wait all upon thee;

that thou mayest give the their 

meat in due season.

That thou gives them they gather;

thou openest thine hand, they are 

filled with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are

troubled:

thou takest away their breath,

they die, and return to heir

dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they

are created:

and thou renewest the face of the 

earth.

The glory of the Lord shall endure

for ever:

the Lord shall rejoice in his

works.

He looketh on the earth, and it

trembleth:

he toucheth the hills and they

smoke.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as

I live:

I will sing praise to my God while I

have my being.

My meditation of him shall be sweet:

I will be glad in the Lord.

Let the sinners be consumed out

of the earth,

and let the wicked be no more.

Bless thou the Lord, O my soul,

Paise ye the Lord.
