how does this psalm's view of creation compare to creation accounts in genesis or job?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Psalm 104:24-25

Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches. There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and great animals.

Psalm 104 is a hymn of praise, celebrating God's power and wisdom as seen in the natural world. It walks through various aspects of creation, from light and water to mountains, animals, and the sea, emphasizing God's provision and ongoing care for all living things.
