PSALM 104
The Lord’s Care over All His Works.
1Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
2Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak,
Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.
3 # Lit The one who He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;
He makes the clouds His chariot;
He walks upon the wings of the wind;
4He makes #Or His angels, spiritsthe winds His messengers,
# Or His ministers flames of fire Flaming fire His ministers.
5He established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not #Or move out of placetotter forever and ever.
6You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.
7At Your rebuke they fled,
At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
8The mountains rose; the valleys sank down
To the place which You established for them.
9You set a boundary that they may not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.
10He sends forth springs in the valleys;
They flow between the mountains;
11They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
They lift up their voices among the branches.
13He waters the mountains from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.
14He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the labor of man,
So that he may bring forth food from the earth,
15And wine which makes man’s heart glad,
So that he may make his face glisten with oil,
And food which sustains man’s heart.
16The trees of the Lord drink their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17Where the birds build their nests,
And the stork, whose home is the fir trees.
18The high mountains are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.
19He made the moon for the seasons;
The sun knows the place of its setting.
20You appoint darkness and it becomes night,
In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about.
21The young lions roar after their prey
And seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises they withdraw
And lie down in their dens.
23Man goes forth to his work
And to his labor until evening.
24O Lord, how many are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all;
The earth is full of Your #Or creaturespossessions.
25There is the sea, great and broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.
26There the ships move along,
And #Or a sea monsterLeviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.
27They all wait for You
To give them their food in #Lit its appointed timedue season.
28You give to them, they gather it up;
You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
29You hide Your face, they are dismayed;
You take away their #Or breathspirit, they expire
And return to their dust.
30You send forth Your #Or breathSpirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground.
31Let the glory of the Lord endure forever;
Let the Lord be glad in His works;
32He looks at the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34Let my meditation be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall be glad in the Lord.
35Let sinners be consumed from the earth
And let the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord!

Tehillim (Psalms) 104
104
1Bless יהוה, O my being! O יהוה my Elohim, You have been very great: You have put on excellency and splendour,
2Covering Yourself with light as with a garment, Stretching out the heavens like a curtain,
3Who is laying the beams of His upper rooms in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on the wings of the wind,
4Making His messengers the winds, His servants a flame of fire.
5He established the earth on its foundations, So that it would not totter forever,
6You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains.
7At Your rebuke they flee; At the voice of Your thunder they hurry away.
8They go up the mountains; They go down the valleys, To the place which You founded for them.
9You did set a boundary, they do not pass over, They do not return to cover the earth.
10Who is sending the springs into the valleys, They flow among the hills.
11They give drink to every beast of the field; Wild donkeys break their thirst.
12The birds of the heavens dwell beside them; They sing from between the branches.
13Watering the hills from His upper rooms; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.
14Causing the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for the service of mankind, To bring forth food from the earth,
15And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make the face shine, And bread which sustains man’s heart.
16The trees of יהוה are satisfied, The cedars of Leḇanon which He planted,
17Where the birds do make nests; The stork has her home in the fir trees.
18The high hills are for wild goats; Rocks a refuge for rock badgers.
19He made the moon for appointed times; The sun knows its going down.
20You put darkness, and it is night, In it all the beasts of the forest creep.
21The young lions are roaring for prey, And seeking their food from Ěl.
22The sun arises – they withdraw And lie down in their dens.
23Man goes out to his work, And to his labour, till evening.
24O יהוה, how many have been Your works! You have made all of them in wisdom. The earth is filled with Your possessions.
25There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable swarms, Living creatures, small with great.
26There do ships go; That Liwiathan which You made, to play there.
27All of them wait for You, To give their food in due season.
28You give to them, they gather in; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
29You hide Your face, they are alarmed; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust;
30You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the earth.
31The esteem of יהוה is forever, יהוה rejoices in His works,
32Who looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33I sing to יהוה as long as I live, I sing praise to my Elohim while I exist.
34My meditation on Him is sweet; I rejoice in יהוה.
35Let sinners be consumed from the earth, And let the wrong be no more. Bless יהוה, O my being! Praise Yah!
