ACV - Psalms - 104

104:1  Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou are very great. Thou are clothed with honor and majesty,

104:2  who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,

104:3  who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,

104:4  who makes his agents spirits, his ministers a flame of fire,

104:5  who laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be moved forever.

104:6  Thou covered it with the deep as with a vesture. The waters stood above the mountains.

104:7  At thy rebuke they fled. At the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.

104:8  The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou had founded for them.

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

104:10  He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

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

104:12  By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation. They sing among the branches.

104:13  He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

104:14  He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbage for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,

104:15  and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

104:16  The trees of Jehovah are full, 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 house.

104:18  The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

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

104:20  Thou make darkness, and it is night, during 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 arises; they get away, and lie down in their dens.

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

104:24  O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom have thou made them all. The earth is full of thy riches.

104:25  Yonder is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.

104:26  There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it.

104:27  These all wait for thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.

104:28  Thou give to them, they gather. Thou open thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

104:29  Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

104:30  Thou send forth thy Spirit, they are created, and thou renew the face of the ground.

104:31  Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever. Let Jehovah rejoice in his works,

104:32  who looks on the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

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

104:34  Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Jehovah.

104:35  Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.
