Psalm 104:1-35 CSB

[1] My soul, bless the LORD! LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with majesty and splendor. [2] He wraps himself in light as if it were a robe, spreading out the sky like a canopy, [3] laying the beams of his palace on the waters above, making the clouds his chariot, walking on the wings of the wind, [4] and making the winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. [5] He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken. [6] You covered it with the deep as if it were a garment; the water stood above the mountains. [7] At your rebuke the water fled; at the sound of your thunder they hurried away- [8] mountains rose and valleys sank - to the place you established for them. [9] You set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never cover the earth again. [10] He causes the springs to gush into the valleys; they flow between the mountains. [11] They supply water for every wild beast; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. [12] The birds of the sky live beside the springs; they make their voices heard among the foliage. [13] He waters the mountains from his palace; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of your labor. [14] He causes grass to grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, producing food from the earth, [15] wine that makes human hearts glad- making his face shine with oil- and bread that sustains human hearts. [16] The trees of the LORD flourish, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. [17] There the birds make their nests; storks make their homes in the pine trees. [18] The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for hyraxes. [19] He made the moon to mark the festivals; the sun knows when to set. [20] You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals stir. [21] The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. [22] The sun rises; they go back and lie down in their dens. [23] Man goes out to his work and to his labor until evening. [24] How countless are your works, LORD! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. [25] Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number- living things both large and small. [26] There the ships move about, and Leviathan, which you formed to play there. [27] All of them wait for you to give them their food at the right time. [28] When you give it to them, they gather it; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. [29] When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. [30] When you send your breath, they are created, and you renew the surface of the ground. [31] May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works. [32] He looks at the earth, and it trembles; he touches the mountains, and they pour out smoke. [33] I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live. [34] May my meditation be pleasing to him; I will rejoice in the LORD. [35] May sinners vanish from the earth and wicked people be no more. My soul, bless the LORD! Hallelujah!
