Psalm 104 begins with a description of the greatness of God. God controls cosmic elements, orders the world and sets limits between the powers of nature. The middle of the hymn explains how God caters to animals' and man's different needs, arranging nature to their comfort. The end of the hymn describes God's reign of life and death, and praises God's justice and power.
Psalm 104:5 says that God: "...set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved."(NIV). This reminds us that God created the earth "to be inhabited"(KJV Isaiah 45:18) forever (Ecclesiastes 1:4/Psalm 37:11,29/Matthew 5:5).
Psalm 91 has 16 verses and Psalm 100 has 5 verses. Psalm 91 is about how God protects us and Psalm 100 is about singing praises to the Lord.
A:The psalms were meant to be sung, so they tell us more about Jewish worship and belief than about God himself. A discussion in Psalms and Practice (edited by Stephen Breck Reid) defined a psalm as devotional singing, but a singing that goes beyond the song; the psalms preach, teach and pray and are both song and poetry. Some quite early psalms depict God as the chief God in a pantheon of lesser gods - for example Psalm 82, "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods." Others depict him variously as merciful, vengeful and just. Each psalm is different.
Among other things, Psalm 100 proclaims: Serve God in happinessBe aware that He is above allThank Him and praise Him, andRecognize His kindnesses.See also:The purpose of the Book of Psalms
God would not leave us. He is a good, kind, loving, and merciful God. And His love endures forever (Psalm 100:5).
"The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law". Bands could also be translated Chains with which Satan binds all who do wickedly. Bands or chains bind us and do not allow us to do that which we should do. The bands David or whoever wrote this psalm robbed him of the blessings of God.
According to tradition, David composed Psalm 23 (one of the most famous and beautiful Psalms) as a prayer, when he was being pursued by Saul and was without food or water, near death, in the forest of Haret. His trust in God was so strong that he felt as if he was at peace, in a meadow with a quiet brook to drink from, and with God holding his hand.See also:More about King David
One of the central themes of Psalm 139 is God's omniscience. Because He created us, He has the most thorough knowledge of our inner workings, and our minds and thoughts. Read the psalm itself for a fuller picture.
David tells us a bit about this in Psalm 139. Worth reading.
God will be our strength even if others let us down. He will not leave us to face trials alone.
