Salmos 104:20

20 Envías la oscuridad, y se hace de noche,
la hora en que merodean los animales del bosque.

Salmos 104:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 104:20

Thou makest darkness, and it is night
The darkness was before the light, and the night before the day, ( Genesis 1:2 Genesis 1:4 Genesis 1:5 ) and now the darkness and night are made by the setting of the sun before mentioned; see ( Isaiah 45:7 ) .

Wherein all the beasts of the field do creep forth;
out of their dens, and range about for their prey, as the evening wolves and others: and these are not the only creatures that choose the night and darkness; all wicked men do the same; whose deeds are evil, and do not care to come to the light, lest they should be reproved; particularly drunkards, adulterers, thieves, and murderers, ( John 3:20 John 3:21 ) ( 1 Thessalonians 5:7 ) ( Job 24:13-17 ) . So the Scribes and Pharisees, when they consulted to take away the life of Christ, and agreed with Judas to betray him, did it in the night: so false teachers, who are wolves in sheep's clothing, when it is a night of darkness with the church, take the advantage of it, to creep about and spread their pernicious doctrines; see ( 2 Timothy 3:6 ) ( Jude 1:4 ) .

Salmos 104:20 In-Context

18 En lo alto de las montañas viven las cabras salvajes,
y las rocas forman un refugio para los damanes.

19 Creaste la luna para que marcara las estaciones,
y el sol sabe cuándo ponerse.

20 Envías la oscuridad, y se hace de noche,
la hora en que merodean los animales del bosque.

21 Los leones jóvenes rugen por su presa,
acechan en busca del alimento que Dios les provee.

22 Al amanecer, se escabullen
y se meten en sus guaridas para descansar.
