104:1  My soul, praise Yahweh! LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with majesty and splendor.
104:2  He wraps Himself in light as if it were a robe, spreading out the sky like a canopy,
104:3  laying the beams of His palace on the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind,
104:4  and making the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.
104:5  He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken.
104:6  You covered it with the deep as if it were a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
104:7  At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away--
104:8  mountains rose and valleys sank-- to the place You established for them.
104:9  You set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never cover the earth again.
104:10  He causes the springs to gush into the valleys; they flow between the mountains.
104:11  They supply water for every wild beast; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
104:12  The birds of the sky live beside the springs; they sing among the foliage.
104:13  He waters the mountains from His palace; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.
104:14  He causes grass to grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, producing food from the earth,
104:15  wine that makes man's heart glad-- making his face shine with oil-- and bread that sustains man's heart.
104:16  The trees of the LORD flourish, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted.
104:17  There the birds make their nests; the stork makes its home in the pine trees.
104:18  The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for hyraxes.
104:19  He made the moon to mark the festivals; the sun knows when to set.
104:20  You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals stir.
104:21  The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
104:22  The sun rises; they go back and lie down in their dens.
104:23  Man goes out to his work and to his labor until evening.
104:24  How countless are Your works, LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.
104:25  Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number-- living things both large and small.
104:26  There the ships move about, and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.
104:27  All of them wait for You to give them their food at the right time.
104:28  When You give it to them, they gather it; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
104:29  When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.
104:30  When You send Your breath, 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 at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they pour out smoke.
104:33  I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.
104:34  May my meditation be pleasing to Him; I will rejoice in the LORD.
104:35  May sinners vanish from the earth and wicked people be no more. My soul, praise Yahweh! Hallelujah!
