104:1

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.

—

104:2

Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

—

104:3

Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind;

—

104:4

Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers.

—

104:5

Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever;

—

104:6

Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.

—

104:7

At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away—

—

104:8

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down— Unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them;

—

104:9

Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, That they might not return to cover the earth.

—

104:10

Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; They run between the mountains;

—

104:11

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

—

104:12

Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, From among the branches they sing.

—

104:13

Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; The earth is full of the fruit of Thy works.

—

104:14

Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; To bring forth bread out of the earth,

—

104:15

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, Making the face brighter than oil, And bread that stayeth man's heart.

—

104:16

The trees of the LORD have their fill, The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;

—

104:17

Wherein the birds make their nests; As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

—

104:18

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

—

104:19

Who appointedst the moon for seasons; The sun knoweth his going down.

—

104:20

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

—

104:21

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

—

104:22

The sun ariseth, they slink away, And couch in their dens.

—

104:23

Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labour until the evening.

—

104:24

How manifold are Thy works, O LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; The earth is full of Thy creatures.

—

104:25

Yonder sea, great and wide, Therein are creeping things innumerable, Living creatures, both small and great.

—

104:26

There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein.

—

104:27

All of them wait for Thee, That Thou mayest give them their food in due season.

—

104:28

Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

—

104:29

Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, And return to their dust.

—

104:30

Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth.

—

104:31

May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in His works!

—

104:32

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

—

104:33

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

—

104:34

Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD.

—

104:35

Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. .
