# Chapter 104
|
||
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul!
|
||
O Lord my God, You are very great:
|
||
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
|
||
2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
|
||
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
|
||
3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
|
||
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
|
||
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
|
||
4 Who makes His angels spirits,
|
||
His ministers a flame of fire.
|
||
5 You who laid the foundations of the earth,
|
||
So that it should not be moved forever,
|
||
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
|
||
The waters stood above the mountains.
|
||
7 At Your rebuke they fled;
|
||
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
|
||
8 They went up over the mountains;
|
||
They went down into the valleys,
|
||
To the place which You founded for them.
|
||
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,
|
||
That they may not return to cover the earth.
|
||
10 He sends the springs into the valleys;
|
||
They flow among the hills.
|
||
11 They give drink to every beast of the field;
|
||
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
|
||
12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
|
||
They sing among the branches.
|
||
13 He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
|
||
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.
|
||
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
|
||
And vegetation for the service of man,
|
||
That he may bring forth food from the earth,
|
||
15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man,
|
||
Oil to make his face shine,
|
||
And bread which strengthens man’s heart.
|
||
16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap,
|
||
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
|
||
17 Where the birds make their nests;
|
||
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
|
||
18 The high hills are for the wild goats;
|
||
The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.
|
||
19 He appointed the moon for seasons;
|
||
The sun knows its going down.
|
||
20 You make darkness, and it is night,
|
||
In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.
|
||
21 The young lions roar after their prey,
|
||
And seek their food from God.
|
||
22 When the sun rises, they gather together
|
||
And lie down in their dens.
|
||
23 Man goes out to his work
|
||
And to his labor until the evening.
|
||
24 O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
|
||
In wisdom You have made them all.
|
||
The earth is full of Your possessions—
|
||
25 This great and wide sea,
|
||
In which are innumerable teeming things,
|
||
Living things both small and great.
|
||
26 There the ships sail about;
|
||
There is that Leviathan
|
||
Which You have made to play there.
|
||
27 These all wait for You,
|
||
That You may give them their food in due season.
|
||
28 What You give them they gather in;
|
||
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
|
||
29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;
|
||
You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
|
||
30 You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
|
||
And You renew the face of the earth.
|
||
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
|
||
May the Lord rejoice in His works.
|
||
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles;
|
||
He touches the hills, and they smoke.
|
||
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
|
||
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
|
||
34 May my meditation be sweet to Him;
|
||
I will be glad in the Lord.
|
||
35 May sinners be consumed from the earth,
|
||
And the wicked be no more.
|
||
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
|
||
Praise the Lord! |
