Psalms 104

1BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315 !

O LORDH3068 my GodH430, You are veryH3966 greatH1431;You are clothed withH3847 splendorH1935 and majestyH1926.2He wraps HimselfH5844 in lightH216 as with a garmentH8008;He stretches outH5186 the heavensH8064 like a tentH3407,3laying the beamsH7136 of His chambersH5944in the waters aboveH4325,makingH7760 the cloudsH5645 His chariotH7398,walkingH1980 onH5921 the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.4He makesH6213 the windsH7307 His messengersH4397,flamesH3857 of fireH784 His servantsH8334.1

5He setH3245 the earthH776 onH5921 its foundationsH4349,neverH1077 H5769 H5703 to be movedH4131.6You coveredH3680 it with the deepH8415 like a garmentH3830;the watersH4325 stoodH5975 aboveH5921 the mountainsH2022.7AtH4480 Your rebukeH1606 the waters fledH5127;atH4480 the soundH6963 of Your thunderH7482 they hurried awayH2648—8the mountainsH2022 roseH5927 and the valleysH1237 sankH3381toH413 the placeH4725 H2088 You assignedH3245 for them—9You setH7760 a boundaryH1366 they cannotH1077 crossH5674,that they may neverH1077 againH7725 coverH3680 the earthH776.

10He sends forthH7971 springsH4599 in the valleysH5158;they flowH1980 betweenH996 the mountainsH2022.11They give drinkH8248 to everyH3605 beastH2416 of the fieldH7704;the wild donkeysH6501 quenchH7665 their thirstH6772.12The birdsH5775 of the airH8064 nestH7931 beside the springsH5921;they singH5414 H6963 amongH996 the branchesH6073.13He watersH8248 the mountainsH2022 from His chambersH5944;the earthH776 is satisfiedH7646 by the fruitH6529 of His worksH4639.

14He makes the grassH2682 growH6779 for the livestockH929and provides cropsH6212 for manH120 to cultivateH5656,bringing forthH3318 foodH3899 fromH4480 the earthH776:15wineH3196 that gladdensH8055 the heartH3824 of manH582,oilH8081 that makes his faceH6440 to shineH6670,and breadH3899 that sustainsH5582 his heartH3824.16The treesH6086 of the LORDH3068 have their fillH7646,the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844 thatH834 He plantedH5193,17whereH834 the birdsH6833 build their nestsH7077;the storkH2624 makes her homeH1004 in the cypressesH1265.218The highH1364 mountainsH2022 are for the wild goatsH3277,the cliffsH5553 a refugeH4268 for the rock badgersH8227.3

19He madeH6213 the moonH3394 to mark the seasonsH4150;the sunH8121 knowsH3045 when to setH3996.20You bringH7896 darknessH2822, and it becomesH1961 nightH3915,when allH3605 the beastsH2416 of the forestH3293 prowlH7430.21The young lionsH3715 roarH7580 for their preyH2964and seekH1245 their foodH400 from GodH410.22The sunH8121 risesH2224, and they withdrawH622;they lie downH7257 inH413 their densH4585.23ManH120 goes forthH3318 to his workH6467and to his laborH5656 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

24HowH4100 manyH7231 are Your worksH4639, O LORDH3068!In wisdomH2451 You have made themH6213 allH3605;the earthH776 is full ofH4390 Your creaturesH7075.25HereH2088 is the seaH3220, vastH1419 and wideH7342 H3027 H8033,teeming with creaturesH7431 beyond numberH369 H4557,living thingsH2416 both greatH1419 andH5973 smallH6996.26ThereH8033 the shipsH591 passH1980,and LeviathanH3882, whichH2088 You formedH3335 to frolicH7832 there.

27AllH3605 creatures lookH7663 to YouH413to giveH5414 them their foodH400 in due seasonH6256.28When You give itH5414 to them,they gather it upH3950;when You openH6605 Your handH3027,they are satisfiedH7646 with good thingsH2896.29When You hideH5641 Your faceH6440,they are terrifiedH926;when You take awayH622 their breathH7307,they dieH1478 and returnH7725 toH413 dustH6083.30When You sendH7971 Your SpiritH7307,4they are createdH1254,and You renewH2318the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

31May the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 endureH1961 foreverH5769;may the LORDH3068 rejoiceH8055 in His worksH4639.32He looksH5027 on the earthH776,and it tremblesH7460;He touchesH5060 the mountainsH2022,and they smolderH6225.33I will singH7891 to the LORDH3068 all my lifeH2416;I will sing praiseH2167 to my GodH430 while I have my beingH5750.34May my meditationH7879 be pleasingH6149 to HimH5921,for IH595 rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068.35May sinnersH2400 vanishH8552 fromH4480 the earthH776and the wickedH7563 be noH369 moreH5750.

BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315 .

HallelujahH1984 H3050!5
