Jubilee2000 - Psalms - 104

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

104:2  who dost cover [thyself] with light as [with] a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain,

104:3  who dost establish his chambers between the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,

104:4  who makes his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire,

104:5  [who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be moved by any age.

104:6  Thou didst cover 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  The mountains were exposed; they descended through 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 not turn again to cover the earth.

104:10  [Thou art] he who sends the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the mountains.

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

104:12  Next to them the fowls of the heavens have their habitation; [they] sing among the leaves.

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

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

104:15  and wine [that] makes glad the heart of man, making [his] face to shine with oil and bread [which] sustains man's heart.

104:16  The trees of the LORD are satisfied; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

104:17  that the birds may make their nests there: the stork makes her house [among] the fir trees.

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

104:19  He appointed the moon for times [and seasons]; the sun knows his going down.

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

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

104:22  The sun arises, they withdraw and lay themselves down in their dens.

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

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

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

104:26  There go the ships; [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou didst make to play therein.

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

104:28  Thou givest unto 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 spirit, they cease to exist 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  Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works.

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

104:33  I will sing unto the LORD 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 the LORD.

104:35  Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Halelu- JAH ([Praise ye the LORD]).:
