Psalms 104
1Bless the Lord, O my soul. 1 O Lord my God, thou art very great; 1 Thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 1
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: 1 Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 1
3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: 1 Who maketh the clouds his chariot: 1 Who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 1
4Who maketh his angels spirits; 1 His ministers a flaming fire: 1
5Who laid the foundations of the earth, 1 That it should not be removed for ever. 1
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: 1 The waters stood above the mountains. 1
7At thy rebuke they fled; 1 At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 1
8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys 1 Unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 1
9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; 1 That they turn not again to cover the earth. 1
10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, 1 Which run among the hills. 1
11They give drink to every beast of the field: 1 The wild asses quench their thirst. 1
12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, 1 Which sing among the branches. 1
13He watereth the hills from his chambers: 1 The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 1
14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, 1 And herb for the service of man: 1 That he may bring forth food out of the earth; 1
15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, 1 And oil to make his face to shine, 1 And bread which strengtheneth man’s heart. 1
16The trees of the Lord are full of sap; 1 The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 1
17Where the birds make their nests: 1 As for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 1
18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; 1 And the rocks for the conies. 1
19He appointed the moon for seasons: 1 The sun knoweth his going down. 1
20Thou makest darkness, and it is night: 1 Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 1
21The young lions roar after their prey, 1 And seek their meat from God. 1
22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, 1 And lay them down in their dens. 1
23Man goeth forth unto his work 1 And to his labour until the evening. 1
24O Lord, how manifold are thy works! 1 In wisdom hast thou made them all: 1 The earth is full of thy riches. 1
25So is this great and wide sea, 1 Wherein are things creeping innumerable, 1 Both small and great beasts. 1
26There go the ships: 1 There is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 1
27These wait all upon thee; 1 That thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 1
28That thou givest them they gather: 1 Thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 1
29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: 1 Thou takest away their breath, they die, 1 And return to their dust. 1
30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: 1 And thou renewest the face of the earth. 1
31The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: 1 The Lord shall rejoice in his works. 1
32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: 1 He toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 1
33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: 1 I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. 1
34My meditation of him shall be sweet: 1 I will be glad in the Lord. 1
35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, 1 And let the wicked be no more. 1 Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. 1 Praise ye the Lord.
