Psalms 104:31-35

PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 104:31 The key to the final section is the repeated “rejoice”: may the LORD rejoice in his works (what he does in caring for his creation), and I rejoice in the LORD (who shows such abundant generosity in his works). Verse Psalms 104:35 is the only mention of human sin in the entire psalm, though the curse on sin is implied in v. Psalms 104:29. Sinners and the wicked are those who reject God’s gracious rule and dwell in their rebellion. consumed from the earth. The purpose of this psalm is not to encourage hatred of human sinners, but rather hatred of all sorts of sin that harms God’s good creation. The faithful will not want to be identified with such people. They will want their own lives to be more and more in tune with the goodness of God.
