Yesterday I watched a Bible study from Ligonier Ministries (https://www.ligonier.org) by Dr. Robert Godfrey on Mark 9:2-7 and the transfiguration of Jesus. He made a connection between the transfiguration and Psalm 104 which is very helpful to our understanding of Psalm 104 and the Deity of our savior.
Mark says that “his clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.” Psalm 104:1-2 describes the glory of “the LORD my God: You are clothed with honor and majesty, / Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment.” The Lord clothes himself with light, and the clothing Jesus wore became exceedingly white. It shone with his divine glory. The glory was so great that the disciples were afraid (v. 6).
Psalm 104 recounts the providential work of God in his creation. He makes his angels spirits. He laid the foundations of the earth, covered it with the deep and set boundaries for it, and gives drink to the beasts. He makes vegetation grow for cattle and men. He gives wine, oil and bread. He makes homes for the birds, wild goats and rock badgers. He appointed the cycles of the moon and sun. He governs the sea and the innumerable creatures in it. He gives life and takes away breath. He touches hills and they smoke. All these reveal his glory and wisdom, and all these are the work of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Word by whom all things were created.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!” (Ps. 104:35) means bless and praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
