Psalm 104
1Praise the Lord, my soul!
O Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2You cover yourself with light as though it were a robe.
You stretch out the heavens as though they were curtains.
3You lay the beams of your home in the water.
You use the clouds for your chariot.
You move on the wings of the wind.
4You make your angels winds
and your servants flames of fire.
5You set the earth on its foundations
so that it can never be shaken.
6You covered the earth with an ocean as though it were a robe.
Water stood above the mountains
7and fled because of your threat.
Water ran away at the sound of your thunder.
8The mountains rose and the valleys sank
to the place you appointed for them.
9Water cannot cross the boundary you set
and cannot come back to cover the earth.
10You make water gush from springs into valleys.
It flows between the mountains.
11Every wild animal drinks ⌞from them⌟.
Wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12The birds live by the streams.
They sing among the branches.
13You water the mountains from your home above.
You fill the earth with the fruits of your labors.
14You make grass grow for cattle
and make vegetables for humans to use
in order to get food from the ground.
15You make wine to cheer human hearts,
olive oil to make faces shine,
and bread to strengthen human hearts.
16The Lord’s trees, the cedars in Lebanon which he planted,
drink their fill.
17Birds build their nests in them.
Storks make their homes in fir trees.
18The high mountains are for wild goats.
The rocks are a refuge for badgers.
19He created the moon, which marks the seasons,
and the sun, which knows when to set.
20He brings darkness, and it is nighttime,
when all the wild animals in the forest come out.
21The young lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.
22When the sun rises,
they gather and lie down in their dens.
23Then people go to do their work,
to do their tasks until evening.
24What a large number of things you have made, O Lord!
You made them all by wisdom.
The earth is filled with your creatures.
25The sea is so big and wide with countless creatures,
living things both large and small.
26Ships sail on it,
and Leviathan, which you made, plays in it.
27All of them look to you to give them their food at the right time.
28You give it to them, and they gather it up.
You open your hand, and they are filled with blessings.
29You hide your face, and they are terrified.
You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.
30You send out your Spirit, and they are created.
You renew the face of the earth.
31May the glory of the Lord endure forever.
May the Lord find joy in what he has made.
32He looks at the earth, and it trembles.
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33I will sing to the Lord throughout my life.
I will make music to praise my God as long as I live.
34May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
I will find joy in the Lord.
35May sinners vanish from the world.
May there no longer be any wicked people.
Praise the Lord, my soul!
Hallelujah!

Psalm 104
104
1Bless the LORD, O my soul.
O LORD my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour 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:
4Who 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 labour 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.
26There 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.
