Overview & Insights

"O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures." (Psalm 104:24)

The psalmist praises the Lord as one wrapped in light, who rides the clouds and makes the winds his messengers. Surveying the wisdom evident in creation, the psalmist marvels that every creature depends on God, who renews the face of the ground.
