NHEBME - Psalms - 104

104:1  Bless the Lord, my soul. The Lord, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

104:2  He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

104:3  He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

104:4  He makes his angels winds; his servants flames of fire.

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

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

104:7  At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

104:8  The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

104:9  You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they do not turn 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 animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

104:12  The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

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

104:14  He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

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

104:16  The Lord's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

104:17  where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

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

104:19  He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

104:20  You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

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

104:22  The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.

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

104:24  The Lord, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

104:25  There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

104:26  There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

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

104:28  You give to them; they gather. 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 the dust.

104:30  You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

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

104:32  He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, 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 any being.

104:34  Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in the Lord.

104:35  Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, my soul. Praise the Lord!
