“Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.”
Psalms 104:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 104:23
Man goes forth to his work and labor 'until the evening,' complementing the previous verse about lions. Humans work during day while dangerous animals rest. This divine arrangement protects humans and provides proper time for productive labor. Work is good and divinely ordained, not a curse. The 'until evening' suggests diligent work within proper boundaries, not endless toil. Christ worked as a carpenter (Mark 6:3) and taught that the Father works continually (John 5:17). The Reformed work ethic values industrious labor as vocation and divine calling.
