John Mark Hicks

Psalm 104 celebrates creation as God’s continuous work from laying the foundations of the earth to giving breath to every living thing. God lies at the center of the creation; it is not about life per se or human utility. Rather, the creation is God-centered. Out of God’s steadfast love, God gifts the creation with goodness, life, and joy. Psalm 104, however, is also a lament that challenges Israel (and us) to honor God’s good creation rather than destroy it. For more on Psalm 104, see these links.
