Psalm 104:1-35 MEV
[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great! You are clothed with honor and majesty, [2] covering Yourself with light as a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain, [3] who lays the upper beams of His chambers on the waters above, who makes the clouds His chariot, who rides upon the wings of the wind, [4] who makes His angels as winds, His ministers a flaming fire. [5] You laid the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. [6] You covered it with the deep as a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. [7] At Your rebuke they fled; at the sound of Your thunder they departed away. [8] The mountains rose up; the valleys went down to the place that You appointed them. [9] You set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they may not again cover the earth. [10] You send the springs to gush forth in the valleys, which flow between the hills. [11] They give drink to every animal of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. [12] By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; they sing among the branches. [13] You water the mountains from Your lofty chamber; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. [14] You cause the grass to grow for the cattle and plants for the cultivation of man, that he may bring forth food from the earth [15] and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil that makes shine his face, and bread that strengthens his heart. [16] The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that He has planted, [17] where the birds make their nests, where the stork has its home in the fir trees. [18] The high mountains are for the wild goats, and the rocks a refuge for the badgers. [19] He set the moon to mark the appointed seasons; the sun knows its time for going down. [20] You make darkness, and it is night, when all the animals of the forest go forth. [21] The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God. [22] When the sun arises, they gather themselves together and lay down in their dens. [23] Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening. [24] O LORD, how manifold are Your works! With wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures- [25] so is this great and wide sea, which is full of innumerable creatures, living animals both small and great. [26] There go the ships, and there is Leviathan, which You have made to play in it. [27] These all wait upon You, that You may give them their food in due season. [28] When You give it to them, they gather it; when You open Your hand, they are filled with good food. [29] When You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust. [30] When You send forth Your Spirit, 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 on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. [33] I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. [34] May my meditation be sweet to Him, for I will 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!
