Psalms 104:1

Psalms 104:1 says, Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.  David says that his soul should bless the LORD.  It is our soul, the everlasting part of us, that needs to bless God for His greatness.  Verse two adds, Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:  God does cloth Himself in the light of truth and the heavens are His home.  Verse three continues, Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:  God is above all creation and is in control of it.  I don't believe this means that everything that happens is caused by God, because He has allowed Satan to have temporary power in the world, but God was, is and always will be the ultimate authority.  Verse four states, Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:  The angels are a part of God's creation, and are His ministers, except I believe for those who followed Lucifer in his rebellion against God.  Still, they are limited in power compared to God.  Verse five adds, Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.  God laid the foundations of, or created, the earth by His own design and it will not be destroyed by anything unless God Himself destroys it.  Verse six declares, Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.  David said that the earth was covered with water.  The waters were above the mountains.  We read occasionally that certain places in the world that are now very dry were once under water, and this tells us that this is true.  I don't profess to understand how God created as He did, but I believe that He is the Creator of all.  Verse seven adds, At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.  God set the seas in their boundaries so that they no longer cover the dry land.  Verse eight continues, They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.  God placed the seas in valleys that He created for them.  Verse nine concludes, Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.  God has set boundaries for the seas so that they will never again cover the earth.  God set His creation in order and continues to be in control of it.
