Psalm 104
Psalm 104 is the 104th psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in Hebrew "ברכי נפשי" (barachi nafshi: "bless my soul"); in English in the King James Version: "Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great". In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible, this psalm is Psalm 103. In Latin, it is known as "Benedic anima mea Domino".
Psalm 104 is used as a regular part of Jewish, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies. It has often been set to music, including works by John Dowland, Heinrich Schütz, Philip Glass and William Lovelady.
The inaugural occurrence of the term "Hallelujah" within the Old Testament can be identified in Psalm 104, with subsequent instances found in Psalms 105 and 106. Notably, O. Palmer Robertson perceives these Psalms as a cohesive triad, serving as the concluding compositions of Book 4. Hallelujah will also appear in Psalm 113, Psalm 117, Psalm 135 Psalm and Psalms 146 through 150.
The psalm bears a notable resemblance to Akhenaten's Great Hymn to the Aten, written some 400 years earlier in Egypt.
vanGemeren notes a chiastic structure in Psalm 104, and Grogan notes that the structure follows the creation narrative in Genesis 1:
One of the longer psalms, Psalm 104 is traditionally divided into 35 verses.
The titles below are those of vanGemeren.
This echoes the first two days of creation in Genesis 1, and describes God as king moving through his royal dwelling. It begins by describing the glory of God ("Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment" v. 2). This could also be rendered "you... who wraps... who stretches...".
