104:1BLESS the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

104:2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

104:3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

104:4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

104:5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

104:6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

104:7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

104:8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

104:9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

104:10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

104:11They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

104:12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

104:13He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

104:14He 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;

104:15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

104:16The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

104:17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

104:18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

104:19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

104:20Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

104:21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

104:22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

104:23Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

104:24O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

104:25So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

104:28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

104:29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

104:30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

104:31The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

104:32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

104:33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

104:34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.
