In this psalm, an exuberant song of praise is sung for God’s work of creation with everything that lives therein. Man is strongly encouraged to praise this awesome God. With that, this psalm begins and ends.

Immediately noteworthy is the personal tone: My God, you are very great!

The author, unknown to us, is personally touched by God’s power. How awesome is the Lord!

The author immediately emphasizes that. You are clothed with splendor and majesty. Royal glory emanates from you.
