CHAPTER 104

1
Bless
the LORD,
O my soul.
O LORD
my God,
You are very
great;
You are clothed
with splendor
and majesty.
2
He wraps
Himself in light
as with a garment;
He stretches out
the heavens
like a tent,
3
laying the beams
of his chambers
on the waters above,
making
the clouds
His chariot,
walking
on
the wings
of the wind.
4
He makes
the winds
His messengers,
flames
of fire
His servants.
5
He set
the earth
on
its foundations,
never
to be moved.
6
You covered
it with the deep
like a garment;
the waters
stood
above
the mountains.
7
At
Your rebuke
the waters fled;
at
the sound
of Your thunder
they hurried away—
8
the mountains
rose
and the valleys
sank
to
the place
You appointed
for them—
9
You set
a boundary
they cannot
cross;
they will never
again
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
The birds
of the air
nest
beside the springs;
they sing
among
the branches.
13
He waters
the mountains
from His chambers;
the earth
is satisfied
by the fruit
of His works.
14
He makes the grass
grow
for the livestock
and provides crops
for man
to cultivate,
bringing forth
food
from
the earth:
15
wine
that gladdens
the heart
of man,
oil
that makes his face
to shine
and bread
that sustains
his
heart.
16
The trees
of the LORD
have their fill,
the cedars
of Lebanon
that
He planted,
17
where
the birds
build their nests;
the stork
makes her home
in the pines.
18
The high
mountains
are for the wild goats,
the cliffs
a refuge
for the coneys.
19
He made
the moon
to mark the seasons;
the sun
knows
when to set.
20
You bring
darkness,
and it becomes
night,
when all
the beasts
of the forest
prowl.
21
The young lions
roar
for their prey
and seek
their food
from God.
22
The sun
rises,
and they withdraw;
they lie down
in
their dens.
23
Man
goes forth
to his work
and to his labor
until
evening.
24
How
many
are Your works,
O LORD!
In wisdom
You have made
them all;
the earth
is full of
Your creatures.
25
Here
is the sea,
vast
and wide,
teeming with creatures
beyond number,
living things
both great
and
small.
26
There
the ships
pass,
and Leviathan,
which
You formed
to frolic there.
27
All creatures
look
to You
to give them
their food
in due season.
28
When You give it
to them,
they gather it up;
when You open
Your hand,
they are satisfied
with good things.
29
When You hide
Your face,
they panic;
when You take away
their breath,
they die
and return
to
dust.
30
When You send
Your Spirit,
they are created,
and You renew
the face
of the earth.
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 smolder.
33
I will sing
to the LORD
all my life;
I will sing praise
to my God
while I have my being.
34
May my meditation
be pleasing
to Him,
for I
rejoice
in the LORD.
35
May sinners
vanish
from
the earth
and the wicked
be no
more.
Bless
the LORD,
O my soul.
Hallelujah!
