Below you'll find nine points in which the Hymn to Aten and Psalm 104 are said to parallel each other. 1 corresponds to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and so on and so forth. The website from which these were sourced is included at the very bottom.

Hymn to Aten:

1 - How many are your deeds ... You made the earth as you wished, you alone, All peoples, herds, and flocks.

2 - When you set in western lightland, Earth is in darkness as if in death

3 - Every lion comes from its den

4 - When you have dawned they live, When you set they die;

5 - You set every man in his place, You supply their needs; Everyone has his food.

6 - The entire land sets out to work

7 - The fish in the river dart before you, Your rays are in the midst of the sea.

8 - Birds fly from their nests, Their wings greeting your ka

9 - He makes waves on the mountain like the sea, To drench their fields and their towns.

Psalm 104:

1 - YHWH, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

2 - You make darkness, and it is night, when all the animals of the forest come creeping out.

3 -The young lions roar for their prey .. when the sun rises, they withdraw, and lie down in their dens.

4 - When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die

5 - These all look to you to give them their food in due season.

6 - People go out to their work and to their labor until the evening

7 - Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there

8 - By the streams the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among
the branches

9 - You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills ... The trees of YHWH are watered abundantly
