Psalm 104:1-35 LSB

[1] Bless Yahweh, O my soul! O Yahweh my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, [2] Wrapping Yourself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out the heavens like a tent curtain. [3] He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He sets up the clouds to be His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; [4] He makes His angels the winds, His ministers flaming fire. [5] He founded the earth upon its place, So that it will not shake forever and ever. [6] You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains. [7] At Your rebuke they fled, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away in alarm. [8] The mountains went up; the valleys went down To the place which You founded for them. [9] You set a boundary that they may not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth. [10] He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains; [11] They give water to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. [12] Above them the birds of the heavens dwell; They give forth their voices among the branches. [13] He gives water to the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works. [14] He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for man’s cultivation, To bring forth food from the earth, [15] And wine which makes man’s heart glad, To make his face glisten more than oil, And food which sustains man’s heart. [16] The trees of Yahweh are satisfied, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, [17] Where the birds build their nests, The stork’s home is in the fir trees. [18] The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim. [19] He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting. [20] You appoint darkness so that it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest creep about. [21] The young lions roar to go after their prey And to seek their food from God. [22] When the sun rises they gather together And lie down in their dens. [23] Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening. [24] How numerous are Your works, O Yahweh! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions. [25] This is the sea, great and broad, There the creeping things are without number, Creatures both small and great. [26] There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which You have formed to play in it. [27] They all wait for You To give them their food in due season. [28] You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good. [29] You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their spirit, they breathe their last And return to their dust. [30] You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground. [31] Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever; Let Yahweh be glad 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 throughout my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. [34] Let my musing be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in Yahweh. [35] Let sinners be consumed from the earth And let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, O my soul. Praise Yah!
