Psalms 104
1 Bless the
LORD, O my
soul. O
LORD my
God, thou art
very great; thou art
clothed with
honour and
majesty. 2 Who
coverest thyself with
light as with a
garment: who stretchest
out the
heavens like a
curtain: 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: 4 Who
maketh his
angels spirits; his
ministers a
flaming fire: 5 Who
laid the
foundations of the
earth, that it should not be
removed for
ever.
6 Thou
coveredst it with the
deep as with a
garment: the
waters stood above the
mountains. 7 At thy
rebuke they
fled; at the
voice of thy
thunder they
hasted away.
8 They go
up by the
mountains; they go
down by the
valleys unto the
place which thou hast
founded for them.
9 Thou hast
set a
bound that they may not pass
over; that they turn not
again to
cover the
earth. 10 He
sendeth the
springs into the
valleys, which
run among the
hills. 11 They give
drink to every
beast of the
field: the wild
asses quench their
thirst. 12 By them shall the
fowls of the
heaven have their
habitation, which
sing among the
branches. 13 He
watereth the
hills from his
chambers: the
earth is
satisfied with the
fruit of thy
works. 14 He causeth the
grass to
grow for the
cattle, and
herb for the
service of
man: that he may bring
forth food out of the
earth; 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. 16 The
trees of the
LORD are
full of sap; the
cedars of
Lebanon, which he hath
planted;
17 Where the
birds make their
nests: as for the
stork, the fir
trees are her
house. 18 The
high hills are a
refuge for the wild
goats; and the
rocks for the
conies. 19 He
appointed the
moon for
seasons: the
sun knoweth his going
down. 20 Thou
makest darkness, and it is
night: wherein all the
beasts of the
forest do
creep forth.
21 The young
lions roar after their
prey, and
seek their
meat from
God. 22 The
sun ariseth, they gather themselves
together, and lay them
down in their
dens. 23 Man goeth
forth unto his
work and to his
labour until the
evening. 24 O
LORD, how
manifold are thy
works! in
wisdom hast thou
made them all: the
earth is
full of thy
riches. 25 So is this
great and
wide sea, wherein are things
creeping innumerable, both
small and
great beasts. 26 There
go the
ships: there is that
leviathan, whom thou hast
made to
play therein.
27 These
wait all upon thee; that thou mayest
give them their
meat in due
season. 28 That thou
givest them they
gather: thou
openest thine
hand, they are
filled with
good. 29 Thou
hidest thy
face, they are
troubled: thou takest
away their
breath, they
die, and
return to their
dust. 30 Thou
sendest forth thy
spirit, they are
created: and thou
renewest the
face of the
earth. 31 The
glory of the
LORD shall endure for
ever: the
LORD shall
rejoice in his
works. 32 He
looketh on the
earth, and it
trembleth: he
toucheth the
hills, and they
smoke.
33 I will
sing unto the
LORD as long as I
live: I will
sing praise to my
God while I have my
being. 34 My
meditation of him shall be
sweet: I will be
glad in the
LORD. 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.
