Psalms 104
1 My soule, prayse thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glorie and honour.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;
2 Which couereth himselfe with light as with a garment, and spreadeth the heauens like a curtaine.
Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; —
3 Which layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the cloudes his chariot, and walketh vpon the wings of the winde.
Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who maketh clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
4 Which maketh his spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.
5 He set the earth vpon her foundations, so that it shall neuer moue.
He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.
6 Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters woulde stand aboue the mountaines.
Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains:
7 But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voyce of thy thunder they haste away.
At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; —
8 And the mountaines ascend, and the valleis descend to the place which thou hast established for them.
The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; —
9 But thou hast set them a bounde, which they shall not passe: they shall not returne to couer the earth.
Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleis, which runne betweene the mountaines.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;
11 They shall giue drinke to all the beasts of the fielde, and the wilde asses shall quench their thirst.
They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By these springs shall the foules of the heauen dwell, and sing among the branches.
The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.
13 He watereth the mountaines from his chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14 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,
He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,
15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oyle to make the face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth mans heart.
And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making [his] face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart.
16 The high trees are satisfied, euen the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
17 That ye birdes may make their nestes there: the storke dwelleth in the firre trees.
Where the birds make their nests; [as for] the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 The high mountaines are for the goates: the rockes are a refuge for the conies.
The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.
19 He appoynted the moone for certaine seasons: the sunne knoweth his going downe.
He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.
20 Thou makest darkenesse, and it is night, wherein all the beastes of the forest creepe forth.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth:
21 The lions roare after their praye, and seeke their meate at God.
The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from God.
22 When the sunne riseth, they retire, and couche in their dennes.
The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Then goeth man forth to his worke, and to his labour vntill the euening.
Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.
24 O Lord, howe manifolde are thy workes! in wisdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 So is this sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beastes and great.
Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.
26 There goe the shippes, yea, that Liuiathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.
27 All these waite vpon thee, that thou maiest giue them foode in due season.
These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:
28 Thou giuest it to them, and they gather it: thou openest thine hand, and they are filled with good things.
That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
29 But if thou hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they dye and returne to their dust.
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.
30 Againe if thou send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renuest the face of the earth.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Glory be to the Lord for euer: let the Lord reioyce in his workes.
The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.
32 He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountaines, and they smoke.
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing vnto the Lord all my life: I will prayse my God, while I liue.
I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.
34 Let my wordes be acceptable vnto him: I will reioyce in the Lord.
My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.
35 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.
Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!
