Psalms 104

1BlessH1288 Jehovah, O my soulH5315. O Jehovah my GodH430, thou art veryH3966 greatH1431; Thou art clothedH3847 with honor and majestyH1926:2Who coverest thyself with lightH216 as with a garmentH8008; Who stretchest out the heavensH8064 like a curtainH3407;3Who layeth the beams of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325; Who maketh the cloudsH5645 his chariot; Who walketh upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307;4Who maketh windsH7307 his messengersH4397; Flames of fireH784 his ministers;5Who laid the foundations of the earthH776, That it should not be moved for everH5703.6Thou coveredst it with the deepH8415 as with a vesture; The watersH4325 stoodH5975 above the mountainsH2022.7At thy rebukeH1606 they fledH5127; At the voiceH6963 of thy thunderH6963 they hasted away8(The mountainsH2022 rose, the valleysH1237 sank downH3381) Unto the placeH4725 which thou hadst foundedH3245 for them.9Thou hast setH7760 a bound that they may not passH5674 over; That they turnH7725 not again to coverH3680 the earthH776.10He sendeth forthH7971 springsH4599 into the valleys; They run among the mountainsH2022;11They giveH8248 drinkH8248 to every beast of the fieldH7704; The wild asses quench their thirstH6772.12By them the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 have their habitation; They sing among the branches.13He watereth the mountainsH2022 from his chambersH5944: The earthH776 is filled with the fruitH6529 of thy worksH4639.14He causeth the grassH2682 to growH6779 for the cattleH929, And herb for the serviceH5656 of manH120; That he may bringH3318 forthH3318 foodH3899 out of the earthH776,15And wineH3196 that maketh gladH8055 the heartH3824 of man, AndoilH8081 to makeH8055 his faceH6440 to shine, And breadH3899 that strengtheneth man’s heartH3824.16The treesH6086 of Jehovah are filledwith moisture, The cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, which he hath plantedH5193;17WhereH834 the birdsH6833 makeH7077 their nestsH7077: As for the storkH2624, the fir-trees are her houseH1004.18The highH1364 mountainsH2022 are for the wild goatsH3277; The rocksH5553 are a refugeH4268 for the conies.19He appointedH4150 the moonH3394 for seasons: The sunH8121 knoweth his going down.20Thou makest darknessH2822, and it is nightH3915, Wherein all the beasts of the forestH3293 creepH7430 forth.21The youngH3715 lionsH3715 roarH7580 after their preyH2964, And seekH1245 their foodH400 from GodH410.22The sunH8121 ariseth, they get them away, And layH7257 them downH7257 in their densH4585.23ManH120 goeth forthH3318 unto his workH6467 And to his laborH5656 until the eveningH6153.24O Jehovah, howH4100 manifold are thy worksH4639! In wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213 them all: The earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy riches.25Yonder is the seaH3220, greatH1419 and wideH7342, Wherein are thingsH7431 creepingH7431 innumerable, Both smallH6996 and greatH1419 beasts.26There goH1980 the shipsH591; There is leviathanH3882, whom thou hast formedH3335 to playH7832 therein.27These wait all for thee, That thou mayest giveH5414 them their foodH400 in due season.28Thou givest unto them, they gatherH3950; Thou openest thy handH3027, they are satisfiedH7646 with goodH2896.29Thou hidest thy faceH6440, they are troubled; Thou takest awayH7725 their breathH7307, they dieH1478, And returnH7725 to their dustH6083.30Thou sendest forthH7971 thy SpiritH7307, they are createdH1254; And thou renewest the faceH6440 of the groundH127.31Let the gloryH3519 of Jehovah endure for everH5769; Let Jehovah rejoiceH8055 in his worksH4639:32Who looketh on the earthH776, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountainsH2022, and they smokeH6225.33I will singH2167 unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will singH2167 praiseH2167 to my GodH430 while I have any being.34Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoiceH8055 in Jehovah.35Let sinnersH2400 be consumed out of the earthH776. And let the wickedH7563 be no moreH4480. BlessH1288 Jehovah, O my soulH5315. PraiseH1984 ye Jehovah.
