Psalm 104:24

Verse 24. -- He does not undertake to answer his own question, "How manifold?" for he confesses God's works to be greater than his own power of expression; whether these "works" belong to the creation of nature or to that of grace. And observe how the concurrent operation of the Blessed Trinity is set forth: "O Lord, how manifold are thy works," teaches of the Father, the Source of all things: "in wisdom hast thou made them all," tells of the Son, the Eternal Word, "Christ the power of God and the Wisdom of God, by whom were all things made, and without him was not anything made that was made," ( 1 Corinthians 1:24 John 1:3 ); "the earth is full of thy riches," is spoken of the Holy Ghost, who filleth the world. --Augustine, Hugo, and Uassiodorus, in Neale and Littledale.

Verse 24. -- In wisdom hast thou made them all. Not only one thing, as the heavens, Ps 136:5; but everything is wisely contrived and made; there is a most glorious display of the wisdom of God in the most minute things his hands have made; he has made everything beautiful in its season. A skilful artificer, when he has finished his work and looks it over again, often finds some fault or another in it: but when the Lord had finished his works of creation, and looked over them, he saw that all was good; infinite wisdom itself could find no blemish in them: what weak, foolish, stupid creatures must they be that pretend to charge any of the works of God with folly, or want of wisdom? --John Gill.

Verse 24. -- The earth is full of thy riches, literally, thy possessions; these thou keepest not to thyself, but blessest thy creatures with. --A.R. Fausset.
