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 the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.
2 Which couereth himselfe with light as with a garment, and spreadeth the heauens like a curtaine.
Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a 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 layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind;
4 Which maketh his spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers.
5 He set the earth vpon her foundations, so that it shall neuer moue.
Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever;
6 Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters woulde stand aboue the mountaines.
Thou didst cover 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 down — 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 didst set a bound which they should not pass over, that they might not return to cover the earth.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleis, which runne betweene the mountaines.
Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between 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.
Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.
13 He watereth the mountaines from his chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; the earth is full of 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,
Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; to bring 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 that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, and bread that stayeth man's heart.
16 The high trees are satisfied, euen the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;
17 That ye birdes may make their nestes there: the storke dwelleth in the firre trees.
Wherein 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 rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19 He appoynted the moone for certaine seasons: the sunne knoweth his going downe.
Who appointedst the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his 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 do creep forth.
21 The lions roare after their praye, and seeke their meate at God.
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 When the sunne riseth, they retire, and couche in their dennes.
The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch 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 LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy creatures.
25 So is this sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beastes and great.
Yonder sea, great and wide, therein are creeping things innumerable, living creatures, both small and great.
26 There goe the shippes, yea, that Liuiathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein.
27 All these waite vpon thee, that thou maiest giue them foode in due season.
All of them wait for Thee, that Thou mayest give them their food in due season.
28 Thou giuest it to them, and they gather it: thou openest thine hand, and they are filled with good things.
Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied 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 vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, 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.
May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in His works!
32 He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountaines, and they smoke.
Who 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 the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34 Let my wordes be acceptable vnto him: I will reioyce in the Lord.
Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD.
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.
Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah.
