Psalm 104
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Let all that I am praise the LORD.
|
|
O LORD my God, how great you are!
|
|
|
|
You are robed with honor and majesty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. You are dressed in a robe of light.
|
|
|
|
You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.
|
|
|
|
You make the clouds your chariot;
|
|
|
|
you ride upon the wings of the wind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The winds are your messengers;
|
|
flames of fire are your servants.
|
|
|
|
5. You placed the world on its foundation
|
|
|
|
so it would never be moved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. You clothed the earth with floods of water,
|
|
|
|
water that covered even the mountains.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. At your command, the water fled;
|
|
|
|
at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Mountains rose and valleys sank
|
|
|
|
to the levels you decreed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,
|
|
|
|
so they would never again cover the earth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. You make springs pour water into the ravines,
|
|
|
|
so streams gush down from the mountains.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. They provide water for all the animals,
|
|
|
|
and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. The birds nest beside the streams
|
|
|
|
and sing among the branches of the trees.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home,
|
|
|
|
and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. You cause grass to grow for the livestock
|
|
|
|
and plants for people to use.
|
|
|
|
You allow them to produce food from the earth--
|
|
|
|
15. wine to make them glad,
|
|
olive oil to soothe their skin,
|
|
|
|
and bread to give them strength.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. The trees of the LORD are well cared for--
|
|
|
|
the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. There the birds make their nests,
|
|
|
|
and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. High in the mountains live the wild goats,
|
|
and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.
|
|
|
|
19. You made the moon to mark the seasons,
|
|
|
|
and the sun knows when to set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. You send the darkness, and it becomes night,
|
|
|
|
when all the forest animals prowl about.
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. Then the young lions roar for their prey,
|
|
|
|
stalking the food provided by God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. At dawn they slink back
|
|
|
|
into their dens to rest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
23. Then people go off to their work,
|
|
|
|
where they labor until evening.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. O LORD, what a variety of things you have made!
|
|
|
|
In wisdom you have made them all.
|
|
|
|
The earth is full of your creatures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. Here is the ocean, vast and wide,
|
|
|
|
teeming with life of every kind,
|
|
|
|
both large and small.
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. See the ships sailing along,
|
|
and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.
|
|
|
|
27. They all depend on you
|
|
|
|
to give them food as they need it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
28. When you supply it, they gather it.
|
|
|
|
You open your hand to feed them,
|
|
|
|
and they are richly satisfied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. But if you turn away from them, they panic.
|
|
|
|
When you take away their breath,
|
|
|
|
they die and turn again to dust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
30. When you give them your breath, life is created,
|
|
|
|
and you renew the face of the earth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
31. May the glory of the LORD continue forever!
|
|
The LORD takes pleasure in all he has made!
|
|
|
|
32. The earth trembles at his glance;
|
|
|
|
the mountains smoke at his touch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
33. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live.
|
|
|
|
I will praise my God to my last breath!
|
|
|
|
|
|
34. May all my thoughts be pleasing to him,
|
|
for I rejoice in the LORD.
|
|
|
|
35. Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth;
|
|
|
|
let the wicked disappear forever.
|
|
Let all that I am praise the LORD.
|
|
Praise the LORD!
