Psalms 104
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
My soule, prayse thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glorie and honour.
2 He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent,
Which couereth himselfe with light as with a garment, and spreadeth the heauens like a curtaine.
3 laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.
Which layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the cloudes his chariot, and walketh vpon the wings of the winde.
4 He makes the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.
Which maketh his spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
5 He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.
He set the earth vpon her foundations, so that it shall neuer moue.
6 You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters woulde stand aboue the mountaines.
7 At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—
But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voyce of thy thunder they haste away.
8 the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them—
And the mountaines ascend, and the valleis descend to the place which thou hast established for them.
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.
But thou hast set them a bounde, which they shall not passe: they shall not returne to couer the earth.
10 He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.
He sendeth the springs into the valleis, which runne betweene the mountaines.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
They shall giue drinke to all the beasts of the fielde, and the wilde asses shall quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches.
By these springs shall the foules of the heauen dwell, and sing among the branches.
13 He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.
He watereth the mountaines from his chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
14 He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:
He causeth grasse to growe for the cattell, and herbe for the vse of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth,
15 wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oyle to make the face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth mans heart.
16 The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,
The high trees are satisfied, euen the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
17 where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.
That ye birdes may make their nestes there: the storke dwelleth in the firre trees.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats, the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.
The high mountaines are for the goates: the rockes are a refuge for the conies.
19 He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.
He appoynted the moone for certaine seasons: the sunne knoweth his going downe.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.
Thou makest darkenesse, and it is night, wherein all the beastes of the forest creepe forth.
21 The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
The lions roare after their praye, and seeke their meate at God.
22 The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.
When the sunne riseth, they retire, and couche in their dennes.
23 Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening.
Then goeth man forth to his worke, and to his labour vntill the euening.
24 How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.
O Lord, howe manifolde are thy workes! in wisdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small.
So is this sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beastes and great.
26 There the ships pass, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.
There goe the shippes, yea, that Liuiathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27 All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.
All these waite vpon thee, that thou maiest giue them foode 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.
Thou giuest it to them, and they gather it: thou openest thine hand, and they are filled with good things.
29 When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
But if thou hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they dye and returne to their dust.
30 When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
Againe if thou send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renuest the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.
Glory be to the Lord for euer: let the Lord reioyce in his workes.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.
He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountaines, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
I will sing vnto the Lord all my life: I will prayse my God, while I liue.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
Let my wordes be acceptable vnto him: I will reioyce in the Lord.
35 May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked till there be no more: O my soule, prayse thou the Lord. Prayse ye the Lord.
