GOD's Boundless Care For HIS Creation

 "Praise YAHWEH, my soul!

Clothed in majesty and splendor;

O YAHWEH, my GOD, how great YOU are!

YOU are wrapped in light as with a garment;

YOU stretch out the heavens like a tent,...

YOU set the earth on its foundations,

and never will it be shaken.

YOU covered it with the ocean like a garment,

and waters spread over the mountains.

YOU make springs gush forth in valleys,

winding among mountains and hills,...

Birds build their nests close by,

and sing among the branches of trees.

How varied O YAHWEH, are YOUR works!

In wisdom YOU have made them all--

the earth, full of YOUR creatures.

May sinners vanish from the earth,

and may the wicked be no more.

Praise YAHWEH, my soul!"

- Psalm 104:1-2. 5-6. 10. 12. 24. 35

(Religion is not strictly an affair between GOD and our souls.  We are part of the world which GOD also made and loves.  The creation was described in the first chapter of Genesis in brief phrases.  Here, the same account is painted in loving detail.  The psalmist speaks of the world, as he saw it; we can think also of the world as we know it--a much more complex world than the psalmist knew--but with the same delight and awe.)
