Psalms 104

1 Bless, O my soul, YHWH! YHWH, my God, You have been very great, You have put on splendor and majesty.

2 Covering Himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

3 Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,

4 Making His messengers—the winds, His ministers—the flaming fire.

5 He has founded earth on its bases, It is not moved for all time and forever.

6 The abyss! You have covered it as with clothing, Waters stand above hills.

7 They flee from Your rebuke, They hurry away from the voice of Your thunder.

8 They go up hills—they go down valleys, To a place You have founded for them.

9 You have set a border, they do not pass over, They do not turn back to cover the earth.

10 He is sending forth fountains in valleys, They go on between hills.

11 They water every beast of the field, Wild donkeys break their thirst.

12 The bird of the heavens dwells by them, From between the branches They give forth the voice.

13 Watering hills from His upper chambers, The earth is satisfied from the fruit of Your works.

14 Causing grass to spring up for livestock, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

15 And wine—it makes the heart of man glad, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread—it supports the heart of man.

16 The trees of YHWH [are] satisfied, Cedars of Lebanon that He has planted,

17 Where birds make nests, The stork—the firs [are] her house.

18 The high hills [are] for wild goats, rocks [are] a refuge for hyraxes,

19 He made the moon for seasons, The sun has known his place of entrance.

20 You set darkness, and it is night, Every beast of the forest creeps in it.

21 The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, they are gathered, And they crouch in their dens.

23 Man goes forth to his work, And to his service—until evening.

24 How many have been Your works, O YHWH, You have made all of them in wisdom, The earth is full of your possessions.

25 This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are] moving things—innumerable, Living creatures—small with great.

26 There ships go—[and] leviathan, That You have formed to play in it.

27 All of them look to You, To give their food in its season.

28 You give to them—they gather, You open Your hand—they [are] satisfied [with] good.

29 You hide Your face—they are troubled, You gather their spirit—they expire, And they return to their dust.

30 You send out Your Spirit, they are created, And You renew the face of the ground.

31 The glory of YHWH is for all time, YHWH rejoices in His works,

32 Who is looking to earth, and it trembles, He comes against hills, and they smoke.

33 I sing to YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

34 My meditation on Him is sweet, I rejoice in YHWH.

35 Sinners are consumed from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, YHWH. Praise YAH!
