Psalm 104:1-35 WEB
[1] Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. [2] He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. [3] He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind. [4] He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire. [5] He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever. [6] You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains. [7] At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. [8] The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them. [9] You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth. [10] He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. [11] They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. [12] The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches. [13] He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works. [14] He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth: [15] wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart. [16] Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted, [17] where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees. [18] The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. [19] He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set. [20] You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl. [21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. [22] The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens. [23] Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening. [24] Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches. [25] There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals. [26] There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there. [27] These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. [28] You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. [29] You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust. [30] You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground. [31] Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works. [32] He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. [33] I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. [34] Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh. [35] Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
