Psalm 104
[104:1] Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. [104:2] He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. [104:3] He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind. [104:4] He makes his [messengers] winds; his servants flames of fire. [104:5] He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever. [104:6] You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains. [104:7] At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. [104:8] The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them. [104:9] You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don't turn again to cover the earth. [104:10] He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. [104:11] They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. [104:12] The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches. [104:13] He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works. [104:14] He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth: [104:15] wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart. [104:16] Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted; [104:17] where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees. [104:18] The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. [104:19] He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set. [104:20] You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl. [104:21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. [104:22] The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens. [104:23] Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening. [104:24] Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches. [104:25] There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals. [104:26] There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there. [104:27] These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. [104:28] You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. [104:29] You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust. [104:30] You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground. [104:31] Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works. [104:32] He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. [104:33] I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. [104:34] Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh. [104:35] Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
