104:1  Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with honor and majesty,

104:2  Covering Yourself with light as with a garment, and stretching out the heavens like a curtain,

104:3  Who lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind;

104:4  He makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flaming fire.

104:5  He established the earth on its foundations; so that it should not be removed forever.

104:6  You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

104:7  At Your rebuke they fled; at the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.

104:8  The mountains rose; the valleys sank down to the place that You had founded for them.

104:9  You have set a bound that they may not pass over, so that they might not return again to cover the earth.

104:10  He sends forth the springs into the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

104:11  They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

104:12  Beside them the birds of heaven will have their place of rest; they sing among the branches.

104:13  He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; the earth is full of the fruit of Your works.

104:14  He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and herbs for the service of man, to bring forth food from the earth,

104:15  And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil that makes his face shine, and bread to strengthen the heart of man.

104:16  The trees of the LORD are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He has planted,

104:17  Where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her home.

104:18  The high mountains are for the wild goats, and the rocks are a refuge for the badgers,

104:19  Who made the moon for the appointed times; the sun knows its going down.

104:20  You make darkness, and it is night in which all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

104:21  The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God.

104:22  The sun rises; they slink away and go to their dens to lie down.

104:23  Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.

104:24  O LORD, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.

104:25  There is the great and wide sea in which are creatures without number, both small and great living things.

104:26  There the ships go and the leviathan, which You have made to play in it.

104:27  All of them wait upon You, that You may give them their food in due season.

104:28  You give it unto them, they gather it; You open Your hand; they are satisfied with good.

104:29  You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.

104:30  You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.

104:31  May the glory of the LORD endure forever; the LORD shall rejoice in His works.

104:32  He looks upon the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke.

104:33  I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

104:34  May my meditation to Him be pleasing; as for me I will rejoice in the LORD.

104:35  Let sinners cease from the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD!
