Psalms 104

Jehovah’s care over all his works.

¹Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

²He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

³He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

⁴He makes his messengers winds; His servants flames of fire.

⁵He laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved forever.

⁶You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

⁸The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them.

⁹You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don`t turn again to cover the earth.

¹⁰He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

¹¹They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹²The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

¹³He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

¹⁴He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for man to cultivate, That he may bring forth food out of the earth:

¹⁵Wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengthens man`s heart.

¹⁶Yahweh`s trees are well watered, The cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

¹⁷Where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

²⁰You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl.

²¹The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

²²The sun rises, and they steal away, And lay down in their dens.

²³Man goes forth to his work, To his labor until the evening.

²⁴Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

²⁵There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable living things, Both small and great animals.

²⁶There the ships go, And leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

²⁷These all wait for you, That you may give them their food in due season.

²⁸You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

²⁹You hide your face: they are troubled; You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

³⁰You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

³¹Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

³²He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³³I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

³⁴Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

³⁵Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
