RLT - Psalms - 104

104:1  Bless Yhwh, O my soul. O Yhwh my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

104:2  Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

104:3  Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

104:4  Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

104:5  Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

104:6  Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

104:7  At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

104:8  They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

104:9  Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

104:10  He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

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

104:12  By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

104:13  He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

104:14  He 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;

104:15  And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

104:16  The trees of Yhwh are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

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

104:18  The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

104:19  He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

104:20  Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

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

104:22  The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

104:23  Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

104:24  O Yhwh, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

104:25  So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

104:26  There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

104:27  These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

104:28  That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

104:29  Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

104:30  Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

104:31  The glory of Yhwh shall endure for ever: Yhwh shall rejoice in his works.

104:32  He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

104:33  I will sing unto Yhwh as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

104:34  My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in Yhwh.

104:35  Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou Yhwh, O my soul. Hallelujah.
