32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!
32 He takes one look at earth and triggers an earthquake, points a finger at the mountains, and volcanoes erupt.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke.
32 The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 104:32
Commentary on Psalm 104:31-35
(Read Psalm 104:31-35)
Man's glory is fading; God's glory is everlasting: creatures change, but with the Creator there is no variableness. And if mediation on the glories of creation be so sweet to the soul, what greater glory appears to the enlightened mind, when contemplating the great work of redemption! There alone can a sinner perceive ground of confidence and joy in God. While he with pleasure upholds all, governs all, and rejoices in all his works, let our souls, touched by his grace, meditate on and praise him.
