Psalm 104:1-35 NET

[1] Praise the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are magnificent. You are robed in splendor and majesty. [2] He covers himself with light as if it were a garment. He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain, [3] and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds. He makes the clouds his chariot, and travels on the wings of the wind. [4] He makes the winds his messengers, and the flaming fire his attendant. [5] He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be moved. [6] The watery deep covered it like a garment; the waters reached above the mountains. [7] Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off- [8] as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down-to the place you appointed for them. [9] You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again. [10] He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains. [11] They provide water for all the animals in the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. [12] The birds of the sky live beside them; they chirp among the bushes. [13] He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. [14] He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground, [15] as well as wine that makes people glad, and olive oil to make their faces shine, as well as bread that sustains them. [16] The trees of the LORD receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted, [17] where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live. [18] The wild goats live in the high mountains; the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs. [19] He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule. [20] You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around. [21] The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. [22] When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens. [23] People then go out to do their work, and they labor until evening. [24] How many living things you have made, O LORD! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made. [25] Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large. [26] The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it. [27] All your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis. [28] You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food. [29] When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life's breath, they die and return to dust. [30] When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground. [31] May the splendor of the LORD endure. May the LORD find pleasure in the living things he has made. [32] He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder. [33] I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist. [34] May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I will rejoice in the LORD. [35] May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD.
