I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
This psalm stands apart from others that recount God's covenant mercies or heaven's hope. Rather, it sets before us the vivid display of His wisdom, power, and goodness in creation and the order of nature, stirring us to praise Him as a Father revealing Himself to us in this fragile and perishable life.

Commenting on Psalm 104:1-35
I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live, or, literally, in my lives. Here and hereafter the psalmist would continue to praise the Lord, for the theme is an endless one, and remains for ever fresh and new. The birds sang God's praises before men were created, but redeemed men will sing his glories when the birds are no more.
The psalmist concludes this meditation with speaking, I. Praise to God, which is chiefly intended in the psalm. 1. He is to be praised, (1.) As a great God, and a God of matchless perfection: The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever, Psa 104:31.
