Psalms 104
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.
Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;
2 Who cover yourself with light as with a garment: who stretch out the heavens like a curtain:
Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; —
3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks on the wings of the wind:
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 Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains:
7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; —
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which you have founded for them.
The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; —
9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.
13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food 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 makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man’s 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 trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Where the birds make their nests; [as for] the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.
20 You make darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth:
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from God.
22 The sun rises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.
24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your 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 great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.
26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom you have made to play therein.
There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.
27 These wait all on you; that you may give them their meat in due season.
These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:
28 That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.
30 You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad 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 let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise you the LORD.
Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!
