The peroration (like the opening) is simple praise of God himself, considered in himself. All his life the psalmist will praise God (Psalms 104:33)—his soul shall praise him (Psalms 104:35), he will be glad in him (Psalms 104:34); finally, he calls upon all men to join in his praise (Psalms 104:35, last clause).
