What did the Holy Spirit do?

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou [B]renewest the face of the earth.

Compare "renewest" with "renewing"/"regeneration" of the believer (Tit 3:5) and of the earth (Mt 19:28).
Compare "renewest" with the command to "replenish" (Gen. 1:28; 9:1).

As the late Dr. Reagan explains, the Holy Spirit's work is described as a "renewing" and a "regeneration".

What did the Holy Spirit "renew" (Ps. 104:30) in Genesis 1:2?
