Psalm 104:1-35 CEV

[1] I praise you, LORD God, with all my heart. You are glorious and majestic, dressed in royal robes [2] and surrounded by light. You spread out the sky like a tent, [3] and you built your home over the mighty ocean. The clouds are your chariot with the wind as its wings. [4] The winds are your messengers, and flames of fire are your servants. [5] You built foundations for the earth, and it will never be shaken. [6] You covered the earth with the ocean that rose above the mountains. [7] Then your voice thundered! And the water flowed [8] down the mountains and through the valleys to the place you prepared. [9] Now you have set boundaries, so that the water will never flood the earth again. [10] You provide streams of water in the hills and valleys, [11] so that the donkeys and other wild animals can satisfy their thirst. [12] Birds build their nests nearby and sing in the trees. [13] From your home above you send rain on the hills and water the earth. [14] You let the earth produce grass for cattle, plants for our food, [15] wine to cheer us up, olive oil for our skin, and grain for our health. [16] Our LORD, your trees always have water, and so do the cedars you planted in Lebanon. [17] Birds nest in those trees, and storks make their home in the fir trees. [18] Wild goats find a home in the tall mountains, and small animals can hide between the rocks. [19] You created the moon to tell us the seasons. The sun knows when to set, [20] and you made the darkness, so the animals in the forest could come out at night. [21] Lions roar as they hunt for the food you provide. [22] But when morning comes, they return to their dens, [23] then we go out to work until the end of day. [24] Our LORD, by your wisdom you made so many things; the whole earth is covered with your living creatures. [25] But what about the ocean so big and wide? It is alive with creatures, large and small. [26] And there are the ships, as well as Leviathan, the monster you created to splash in the sea. [27] All of these depend on you to provide them with food, [28] and you feed each one with your own hand, until they are full. [29] But when you turn away, they are terrified; when you end their life, they die and rot. [30] You created all of them by your Spirit, and you give new life to the earth. [31] Our LORD, we pray that your glory will last forever and that you will be pleased with what you have done. [32] You look at the earth, and it trembles. You touch the mountains, and smoke goes up. [33] As long as I live, I will sing and praise you, the LORD God. [34] I hope my thoughts will please you, because you are the one who makes me glad. [35] Destroy all wicked sinners from the earth once and for all. With all my heart I praise you, LORD! I praise you!
