Psalms Chapter 104
Overview
Psa 104:1, A meditation upon the mighty power, Psa 104:7, and wonderful providence of God; Psa 104:31, God's glory is eternal; Psa 104:33, The prophet vows perpetually to praise God.
Bless: This sublime poem on the works of God in creation and providence, is ascribed to David in the LXX, Vulgate, Ethiopic, Syriac, and Arabic; and as it opens and closes with the same words as the preceding psalm, it is probable that it was composed on the same occasion; and it is written as part of it in nine manuscripts Psa 104:35, Psa 103:1, Psa 103:2, Psa 103:22

the wild goats: The yaal, is the ibex, or rock goat, so called from alah, to ascend, because it is famous for mounting to the tops of the highest rocks.
