Psalms 104:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created - יבראון yibbareun, "They are created again."

And thou renewest the face of the earth - Do not these words plainly imply a resurrection of the bodies which have died, been dissolved, or turned to dust? And is not the brute creation principally intended here? Is it not on this account it is said, Psalms 104:31, "the glory of the Lord shall endure for ever, (לעולם leolam)," to be manifest in those times which are secret, when Jehovah himself shall rejoice in his works; when the brute creation shall be delivered from the bondage of its corruption? See the notes on Romans 8:19-23 (note).
