Psalms 104:19

"The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers."

Key Reflection

These verses use nature imagery to highlight God's provision and care, suggesting that even in inaccessible places, animals find refuge—metaphorically indicating how God ensures safety and sustenance for all His creatures, including humanity. The high mountains and rocks symbolize both physical and spiritual protection, pointing to the idea of God’s care extending to every aspect of creation, from the smallest detail to broader spiritual truths.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He appointed the moon for seasons -Genesis 1:14-18. That is, The moon, as well as the sun, is appointed to divide time; to determine its progress; to indicate the return of festival occasions, or appointed times to be observed in any manner. It is, in fact, the foundation of the division of the year into “months,” and consequently the indication of all that is to be observed in the “months” of the year. But for this, there would be no natural divisions of time except those of day and night, and of the year.
