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