Psalm 104:1-35 NASB95

[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, [2] Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain. [3] He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; [4] He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers. [5] He established the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not totter 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. [8] The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established 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 drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. [12] Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; They lift up their voices among the branches. [13] He waters 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 the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth, [15] And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart. [16] The trees of the LORD drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, [17] Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is 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 and it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about. [21] The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God. [22] When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their dens. [23] Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening. [24] O LORD, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions. [25] There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great. [26] There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport 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 expire 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 the LORD endure forever; Let the LORD 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 the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. [34] Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in the LORD. [35] Let sinners be consumed from the earth And let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD!
