The psalmist does not mean: “O, I hope God will rejoice in his works, but I am not sure he will.” If that were the meaning, then the first line of the verse would have to have the same sense: “O, I hope God’s glory will endure forever, but I am not sure it will.”. The Son and Father are equally glorified in creation, because creation is the overflow of gladness that they have in each other. Now, the word “praise” is the Hebrew word yadah.

The heavens are telling the glory of God; He means for us always to look at his creation and say: If the work of his hands is so full of wisdom and power and grandeur and majesty and beauty, what must this God be like in himself?

Remember that the Son, too, is called the reflection of God’s glory (Hebrews 1:3). Who can fathom the human brain and the mystery of mind and body! God and God alone is the soul’s end. So the most basic reason that God delights in his creation is that in creation he sees the reflection of his own glory, and therefore he is not an idolater when he delights in his work. The words, not the works of God, pre-eminently set forth His redemption. When he looked at it, it gave him pleasure. If Isaiah was stunned at the power of God to create and name and sustain every star in the heaven that he could see, what would be his worship today if he were shown that the nearest of those stars in his sky, Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri, are 25 million million miles away, and that what he was seeing in his night sky was a tiny patch of our galaxy which has in it a hundred billion stars, and that beyond our galaxy there are millions of galaxies?

Each time the text says, “And God saw that it was good” (verses 4, 12, 18, 21, 25). Praise God through songs that glorify Him. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; calling them all by name; In other words, I think the two halves of this verse are related something like this: “As long as the glory of the Lord endures in his works, God will indeed rejoice in his works.” Or you could say, “May the glory of the Lord endure forever, so that the Lord may rejoice in his works.” So my first and most basic, statement is that.

Now the question is, Why?
