psalms104
- 1Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
- 2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
- 3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
- 4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
- 5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
- 6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
- 7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
- 8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
- 9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
- 10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
- 11They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
- 12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
- 13He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
- 14He 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;
- 15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
- 16The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
- 17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
- 18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
- 19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
- 20Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
- 21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
- 22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
- 23Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
- 24O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
- 25So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
- 26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
- 27These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
- 28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
- 29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
- 30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
- 31The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
- 32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
- 33I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
- 34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
- 35Let 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.
