Psalm 104
104
The Lord's Care for His Creation
1Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, thou art very great;
thou art clothed with honor and majesty:
2who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:
who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:
who maketh the clouds his chariot:
who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4 #
Heb 1.7. who maketh his angels spirits;
his ministers a flaming fire:
5 who laid the foundations of the earth,
that it should not be removed for ever.
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:
the waters stood above the mountains.
7At thy rebuke they fled;
at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8They go up by the mountains;
they go down by the valleys
unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10He sendeth the springs into the valleys,
which run among the hills.
11They give drink to every beast of the field:
the wild asses quench their thirst.
12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
which sing among the branches.
13He watereth the hills from his chambers:
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
and herb for the service of man:
that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15and wine that maketh glad the heart of man,
and oil to make his face to shine,
and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
16The trees of the Lord are full of sap;
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 hills are a refuge for the wild goats;
and the rocks for the conies.
19He appointed the moon for seasons:
the sun knoweth his going down.
20Thou makest darkness, and it is night:
wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21The young lions roar after their prey,
and seek their meat from God.
22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together,
and lay them down in their dens.
23Man goeth forth unto his work
and to his labor until the evening.
24O Lord, how manifold are thy works!
In wisdom hast thou made them all:
the earth is full of thy riches.
25 So is this great and wide sea,
wherein are things creeping innumerable,
both small and great beasts.
26 #
Job 41.1; Ps 74.14; Isa 27.1. There go the ships:
there is that leviathan,
whom thou hast made to play therein.
27These wait all upon thee;
that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
28 That thou givest them they gather:
thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:
thou takest away their breath, they die,
and return to their dust.
30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:
and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever:
the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:
he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live:
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34My meditation of him shall be sweet:
I will be glad in the Lord.
35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth,
and let the wicked be no more.
Bless thou the Lord, O my soul.
Praise ye 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!
