- Do the opening passages of this Psalm describe the Divine in terms of Its relationship to humanity or, rather, in terms of Its relationship to nature as a whole?
- In Psalms 104:10-14 what is the relationship of the Divine to nature and to living creatures — caring or remote?
- How does the author proximate the “heavenly bodies” to life forms?
- In Psalms 104:23, what is the single descriptive insofar as the human is concerned?
- In Psalms 104:24 does the author ascribe creation as planned, or as random?
- But, should God “conceal Its face” (Psalms 104:29) what is the lot of life forms?
- According to Psalms 104:30, is nature inevitably in decline or is there normative “renewal”?
