Psalm 104:1-35 GW

[1] Praise the LORD, my soul! O LORD my God, you are very great. You are clothed with splendor and majesty. [2] You cover yourself with light as though it were a robe. You stretch out the heavens as though they were curtains. [3] You lay the beams of your home in the water. You use the clouds for your chariot. You move on the wings of the wind. [4] You make your angels winds and your servants flames of fire. [5] You set the earth on its foundations so that it can never be shaken. [6] You covered the earth with an ocean as though it were a robe. Water stood above the mountains [7] and fled because of your threat. Water ran away at the sound of your thunder. [8] The mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place you appointed for them. [9] Water cannot cross the boundary you set and cannot come back to cover the earth. [10] You make water gush from springs into valleys. It flows between the mountains. [11] Every wild animal drinks from them. Wild donkeys quench their thirst. [12] The birds live by the streams. They sing among the branches. [13] You water the mountains from your home above. You fill the earth with the fruits of your labors. [14] You make grass grow for cattle and make vegetables for humans to use in order to get food from the ground. [15] You make wine to cheer human hearts, olive oil to make faces shine, and bread to strengthen human hearts. [16] The LORD's trees, the cedars in Lebanon which he planted, drink their fill. [17] Birds build their nests in them. Storks make their homes in fir trees. [18] The high mountains are for wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for badgers. [19] He created the moon, which marks the seasons, and the sun, which knows when to set. [20] He brings darkness, and it is nighttime, when all the wild animals in the forest come out. [21] The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. [22] When the sun rises, they gather and lie down in their dens. [23] Then people go to do their work, to do their tasks until evening. [24] What a large number of things you have made, O LORD! You made them all by wisdom. The earth is filled with your creatures. [25] The sea is so big and wide with countless creatures, living things both large and small. [26] Ships sail on it, and Leviathan, which you made, plays in it. [27] All of them look to you to give them their food at the right time. [28] You give it to them, and they gather it up. You open your hand, and they are filled with blessings. [29] You hide your face, and they are terrified. You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust. [30] You send out your Spirit, and they are created. You renew the face of the earth. [31] May the glory of the LORD endure forever. May the LORD find joy in what he has made. [32] He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. [33] I will sing to the LORD throughout my life. I will make music to praise my God as long as I live. [34] May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I will find joy in the LORD. [35] May sinners vanish from the world. May there no longer be any wicked people. Praise the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!
