104:1  Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty,
104:2  who dost cover thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain,
104:3  who dost establish his chambers between the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,
104:4  who makes his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire,
104:5  who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved by any age.
104:6  Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
104:7  At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
104:8  The mountains were exposed; they descended through the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
104:9  Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over, that they not turn again to cover the earth.
104:10  Thou art he who sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the mountains.
104:11  They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
104:12  Next to them the fowls of the heavens have their habitation; they sing among the leaves.
104:13  He waters the mountains from his chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
104:14  He causes the hay to grow for the cattle and grass for the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth
104:15  and wine that makes glad the heart of man, making his face to shine with oil and bread which sustains man’s heart.
104:16  The trees of the LORD are satisfied; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
104:17  that the birds may make their nests there: the stork makes her house among the fir trees.
104:18  The high mountains are a refuge for the wild goats, and the rocks for the conies.
104:19  He appointed the moon for times and seasons; the sun knows his going down.
104:20  Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest move.
104:21  The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God.
104:22  The sun arises, they withdraw and lay themselves down in their dens.
104:23  Man goes forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
104:24  O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom thou hast made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.
104:25  So is this great and wide sea, wherein are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.
104:26  There go the ships; there is that leviathan, whom thou didst make to play therein.
104:27  These wait all upon thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.
104:28  Thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
104:29  Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their spirit, they cease to exist and return to their dust.
104:30  Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.
104:31  Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works.
104:32  He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the mountains, and they smoke.
104:33  I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
104:34  My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the LORD.
104:35  Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Halelu- JAH (Praise ye the LORD).
