Key Verse: Verse 2 - “Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:”
Key Words: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain
Psalm 104 is in a sweeping description of God's creation, not written by scientists or historians but by the psalmist who could look and see God in all of creation. He speaks of the heavens in verses 1 - 4, and in verses 5 - 9 he speaks of the seas.
In the heavens, he sees the asteroid heaven in verse 2 "coverest thyself with light." In verse 3, he sees the atmospheric heaven "who maketh the clouds his chariot," and then he sees the angelic heaven in verse 4.
He then moves on to the seas in verses 5 - 9. He sees their boundary in verses 5 - 8, and in verse 9 he sees the rage of the seas and the control of God against their rage.
As one looks at the seas and the heavens and their majestic glory, how can one deny that there is a Creator? The only answer I have comes from Scripture, Romans 1:20-21, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." What a shame!
