Chapter 104



104:1
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
104:2
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
104:3
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
104:4
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
104:5
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
104:6
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
104:7
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
104:8
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
104:9
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
104:10
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
104:11
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
104:12
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
104:13
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
104:14
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
104:15
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
104:16
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
104:17
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
104:18
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
104:19
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
104:20
Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
104:21
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
104:22
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
104:23
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
104:24
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
104:25
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
104:26
There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
104:27
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
104:28
That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
104:29
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
104:30
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
104:31
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
104:32
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
104:33
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
104:34
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
104:35
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
