104:1  Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty—
104:2  who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
104:3  who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters, who maketh the clouds His chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
104:4  who maketh His angels spirits, His ministers a flaming fire;
104:5  who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should never be removed.
104:6  Thou covered 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 hastened away.
104:8  They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which Thou hast founded for them.
104:9  Thou hast set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
104:10  He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
104:11  They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
104:12  By them shall the fowls of the heavens have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
104:13  He watereth the hills from His chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works.
104:14  He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herbs for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,
104:15  and wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
104:16  The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He hath planted,
104:17  where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
104:18  The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, and the rocks for the conies.
104:19  He appointed the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his time to go down.
104:20  Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
104:21  The young lions roar after their prey and seek their meat from God.
104:22  When the sun ariseth, they gather themselves together and lay them down in their dens.
104:23  Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening.
104:24  O Lord, how manifold are Thy works! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy riches.
104:25  So also is this great and wide sea, wherein are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.
104:26  There go the ships; there also is that leviathan, whom Thou hast made to play therein.
104:27  These all wait upon Thee, that Thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
104:28  What Thou givest 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 breath, they die 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  The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever; the Lord shall rejoice in His works.
104:32  He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the hills, 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! Praise ye the Lord!
