104:1  Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
104:2  Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
104:3  Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
104:4  Making His messengers -- the winds, His ministers -- the flaming fire.
104:5  He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.
104:6  The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
104:7  From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
104:8  They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.
104:9  A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
104:10  Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.
104:11  They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.
104:12  By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.
104:13  Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
104:14  Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
104:15  And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.
104:16  Satisfied [are] the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
104:17  Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs [are] her house.
104:18  The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,
104:19  He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
104:20  Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
104:21  The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
104:22  The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
104:23  Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.
104:24  How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
104:25  This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.
104:26  There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.
104:27  All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.
104:28  Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they [are] satisfied [with] good.
104:29  Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.
104:30  Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
104:31  The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,
104:32  Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.
104:33  I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
104:34  Sweet is my meditation on Him, I -- I do rejoice in Jehovah.
104:35  Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!
