Psalms 104

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:⋮

2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;⋮

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;⋮

4 Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;⋮

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.⋮

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.⋮

7 At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away⋮

8 (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.⋮

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.⋮

10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;⋮

11 They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.⋮

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.⋮

13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.⋮

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,⋮

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, And oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.⋮

16 The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;⋮

17 Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.⋮

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.⋮

19 He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.⋮

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.⋮

21 The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.⋮

22 The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.⋮

23 Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.⋮

24 O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches.⋮

25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.⋮

26 There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.⋮

27 These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.⋮

28 Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.⋮

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.⋮

30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.⋮

31 Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:⋮

32 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.⋮

33 I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.⋮

34 Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.⋮

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.⋮
