Psalms 104

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour 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 his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:⋮

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

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.⋮

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

8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast 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 the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.⋮

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

12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.⋮

13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied 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 which strengtheneth man’s heart.⋮

16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; 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 hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks 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 do creep forth.⋮

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.⋮

22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.⋮

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.⋮

24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.⋮

25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.⋮

26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.⋮

27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.⋮

28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled 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 earth.⋮

31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.⋮

32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.⋮

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

34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.⋮

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