104:1 |
Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
|
104:2 |
He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent
|
104:3 |
and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
|
104:4 |
He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.
|
104:5 |
He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
|
104:6 |
You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
|
104:7 |
But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
|
104:8 |
they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.
|
104:9 |
You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.
|
104:10 |
He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains.
|
104:11 |
They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
|
104:12 |
The birds of the air nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.
|
104:13 |
He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.
|
104:14 |
He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate-- bringing forth food from the earth:
|
104:15 |
wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
|
104:16 |
The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
|
104:17 |
There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the pine trees.
|
104:18 |
The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the coneys.
|
104:19 |
The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
|
104:20 |
You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
|
104:21 |
The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
|
104:22 |
The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.
|
104:23 |
Then man goes out to his work, to his labor until evening.
|
104:24 |
How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
|
104:25 |
There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-- living things both large and small.
|
104:26 |
There the ships go to and fro, and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.
|
104:27 |
These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time.
|
104:28 |
When you give it to them, they gather it up; 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 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 who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
|
104:33 |
I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
|
104:34 |
May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD.
|
104:35 |
But may sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD.
