Hi Ned,
I wouldn't say it was thin, but it's certainly far from conclusive. I mention it because it is an interesting piece of evidence.
I do think though that the two are eerily close for supposedly unrelated works.
Both begin with a general evocation of God's greatness, mention his creation and allude to God being the sun. Both mention that God brings on night, when dangerous beasts roam the land. Both say that God banishes these beasts, come the day (furthering the sun comparison). Both mention that humanity comes out in the day to go to our work. Both make mention of birds by water. Both mention ships. Both mention breath as the God-given animating force. Both stress how God is essential to all things.
Compare these lines;
psalm 104 writes:
How countless are your works, Yahweh,
all of them made so wisely!
Hymn to the Aten writes:
How manifold are Your works!
They are hidden from before (us)
I'm not trying to pretend that this proves anything beyond doubt. The two are scarcely word-for-word. The comparison page I linked to has the psalm presented out of order for a start. The similarities are striking though. That both of these are from very early monotheistic faiths makes the comparison interesting and worth mentioning, I think, in a thread like this.
