Psalm 104:24-30 O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.… I. THE PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION OF LIFE. Wherever there is a proper receptacle or habitation, there we find suitable inhabitants; and in many states and conditions, in which we should think it impossible for living creatures to subsist, did we not find them actually subsisting. These all draw their support from the world around them, fill up their place and time, till others succeed in their room. II. THE PLEASURE AND FELICITY OF HIS CREATURES IN THE ENJOYMENT OF THAT LIFE. Even the lowest creatures have their enjoyments, and show more symptoms of ease and delight, than of pain and trouble. III. THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE. IV. THE ATTAINMENT OF VIRTUE AND RELIGION.
