‏ Psalms 104:15

14-15. so that men and beasts are abundantly provided with food.

for the service--literally, "for the culture," &c., by which he secures the results.

oil ... shine--literally, "makes his face to shine more than oil," that is, so cheers and invigorates him, that outwardly he appears better than if anointed.

strengtheneth ... heart--gives vigor to man (compare Jud 19:5).

‏ Proverbs 16:15

15. light of ... countenance--favor (Psa 4:6).

life--preserves it, or gives blessings which make it valuable.

the latter rain--fell just before harvest and matured the crop; hence specially valuable (De 11:14).
