Psalms Chapter 104
1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. | 2 | Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: | 3 | Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: | 4 | Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: | 5 | Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. | 6 | Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. | 7 | At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. | 8 | They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. | 9 | Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. | 10 | He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. | 11 | They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. | 12 | By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. | 13 | He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. | 14 | He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; | 15 | And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. | 16 | The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; | 17 | Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. | 18 | The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. | 19 | He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. | 20 | Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. | 21 | The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. | 22 | The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. | 23 | Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. | 24 | O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. | 25 | So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. | 26 | There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. | 27 | These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. | 28 | That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. | 29 | Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. | 30 | Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. | 31 | The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. | 32 | He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. | 33 | I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. | 34 | My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. | 35 | Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. |
