Psalm 104

1. 1

   Bless the LORD, O my soul; *
   O LORD my God, how excellent is your greatness! you are clothed with majesty and splendor.

2. 2

   You wrap yourself with light as with a cloak *
   and spread out the heavens like a curtain.

3. 3

   You lay the beams of your chambers in the waters above; *
   you make the clouds your chariot; you ride on the wings of the wind.

4. 4

   You make the winds your messengers *
   and flames of fire your servants.

5. 5

   You have set the earth upon its foundations, *
   so that it never shall move at any time.

6. 6

   You covered it with the Deep as with a mantle; *
   the waters stood higher than the mountains.

7. 7

   At your rebuke they fled; *
   at the voice of your thunder they hastened away.

8. 8

   They went up into the hills and down to the valleys beneath, *
   to the places you had appointed for them.

9. 9

   You set the limits that they should not pass; *
   they shall not again cover the earth.

10. 10

    You send the springs into the valleys; *
    they flow between the mountains.

11. 11

    All the beasts of the field drink their fill from them, *
    and the wild asses quench their thirst.

12. 12

    Beside them the birds of the air make their nests *
    and sing among the branches.

13. 13

    You water the mountains from your dwelling on high; *
    the earth is fully satisfied by the fruit of your works.

14. 14

    You make grass grow for flocks and herds *
    and plants to serve mankind;

15. 15

    That they may bring forth food from the earth, *
    and wine to gladden our hearts,

16. 16

    Oil to make a cheerful countenance, *
    and bread to strengthen the heart.

17. 17

    The trees of the LORD are full of sap, *
    the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

18. 18

    In which the birds build their nests, *
    and in whose tops the stork makes his dwelling.

19. 19

    The high hills are a refuge for the mountain goats, *
    and the stony cliffs for the rock badgers.

20. 20

    You appointed the moon to mark the seasons, *
    and the sun knows the time of its setting.

21. 21

    You make darkness that it may be night, *
    in which all the beasts of the forest prowl.

22. 22

    The lions roar after their prey *
    and seek their food from God.

23. 23

    The sun rises, and they slip away *
    and lay themselves down in their dens.

24. 24

    Man goes forth to his work *
    and to his labor until the evening.

25. 25

    O LORD, how manifold are your works! *
    in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

26. 26

    Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number, *
    creatures both small and great.

27. 27

    There move the ships, and there is that Leviathan, *
    which you have made for the sport of it.

28. 28

    All of them look to you *
    to give them their food in due season.

29. 29

    You give it to them; they gather it; *
    you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.

30. 30

    You hide your face, and they are terrified; *
    you take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust.

31. 31

    You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; *
    and so you renew the face of the earth.

32. 32

    May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; *
    may the LORD rejoice in all his works.

33. 33

    He looks at the earth and it trembles; *
    he touches the mountains and they smoke.

34. 34

    I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; *
    I will praise my God while I have my being.

35. 35

    May these words of mine please him; *
    I will rejoice in the LORD.

36. 36

    Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, *
    and the wicked be no more.

37. 37

    Bless the LORD, O my soul. *
    Hallelujah!
