PSALM 104
1Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God#GodHebrew: Elohim thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour; 2Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; — 3Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who maketh clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind; 4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire. 5He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever. 6Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains: 7At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; — 8The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; — 9Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains; 11They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst. 12The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches. 13He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth, 15And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making his face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart. 16The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted, 17Where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.
19He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down. 20Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth: 21The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from ·God#GodHebrew: El 22The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens. 23Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening. 24How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 25Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great. 26There go the ships; there that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein. 27These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season: 28That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good. 29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust. 30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works. 32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. 33I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God#GodHebrew: Elohim while I have my being. 34My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah. 35Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!

Psalms 104
104
Praise to God Who Made the World
1My whole being, praise the Lord.
Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with glory and majesty.
2You wear light like a robe.
You stretch out the skies like a tent.
3You build your room above the clouds.
You make the clouds your chariot.
You ride on the wings of the wind.
4You make the winds your messengers.
Flames of fire are your servants.
5You built the earth on its foundations.
So it can never be moved.
6You covered the earth with oceans.
The water was above the mountains.
7But at your command, the water rushed away.
When you gave your orders like thunder, it hurried away.
8The mountains rose.
The valleys sank.
The water went to the places you made for it.
9You set borders for the seas that they cannot cross.
The water will never cover the earth again.
10You make springs pour into the ravines.
They flow between the mountains.
11They water all the wild animals.
The wild donkeys come there to drink.
12Wild birds make nests by the water.
They sing among the tree branches.
13You water the mountains from above.
The earth is full of the things you made.
14You make the grass for cattle
and vegetables for the use of man.
You make food grow from the earth.
15You give us wine that makes happy hearts.
And you give us olive oil that makes our faces shine.
You give us bread that gives us strength.
16The Lord’s trees have plenty of water.
They are the cedar trees of Lebanon, which he planted.
17The birds make their nests there.
The stork’s home is in the fir trees.
18The high mountains belong to the wild goats.
The rocks are hiding places for the badgers.
19You made the moon to mark the seasons.
And the sun always knows when to set.
20You make it dark, and it becomes night.
Then all the wild animals creep around.
21The lions roar as they attack.
They look to God for food.
22When the sun rises, they leave.
They go back to their dens to lie down.
23Then people go to work.
And they work until evening.
24Lord, you have made many things.
With your wisdom you made them all.
The earth is full of your riches.
25Look at the sea, so big and wide.
Its creatures large and small cannot be counted.
26Ships travel over the ocean.
And there is the sea monster Leviathan,
which you made to play there.
27All these things depend on you
to give them their food at the right time.
28When you give it to them,
they gather it up.
When you open your hand, they are filled with good food.
29When you turn away from them,
they become frightened.
When you take away their breath,
they die and turn into dust.
30When you breathe on them,
they are created.
You make the land new again.
31May the glory of the Lord be forever.
May the Lord enjoy what he has made.
32He just looks at the earth, and it shakes.
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33I will sing to the Lord all my life.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.
34May my thoughts please him.
I am happy in the Lord.
35Let sinners be destroyed from the earth.
Let the wicked people live no longer.
My whole being, praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
