Psalms 104

The Lord’s Care over All His Works.

11BlessH1288 the LordH3068, O my soulH5315! O LordH3068 my GodH430, You are veryH3966 greatH1431; You are 2clothedH3847 with splendorH1935 and majestyH1926,2CoveringH5844 Yourself with 3lightH216 as with a cloakH8008, 4StretchingH5186 out heavenH8064 like a tent curtainH3407.35He 6laysH7136 the beamsH7136 of His upperH5944 chambersH5944 in the watersH4325; 7He makesH7760 the 8cloudsH5645 His chariotH7398; 9He walksH1980 upon the 10wingsH3671 of the windH7307;411He makesH6213 1213the windsH7307 His messengersH4397, 14FlamingH3857 15fireH784 His ministersH8334.

5He 16establishedH3245 the earthH776 upon its foundationsH4349, So that it will not 17totterH4131 foreverH5769 and everH5703.6You 18coveredH3680 it with the deepH8415 as with a garmentH3830; The watersH4325 were standingH5975 aboveH5921 the mountainsH2022.7At Your 19rebukeH1606 they fledH5127, At the 20soundH6963 of Your thunderH7482 they hurriedH2648 awayH2648.8The mountainsH2022 roseH5927; the valleysH1237 sankH3381 downH3381 To the 21placeH4725 whichH2088 You establishedH3245 for them.9You setH7760 a 22boundaryH1366 that they may not passH5674 overH5674, So that they will not returnH7725 to coverH3680 the earthH776.

1023He sendsH7971 forth 24springsH4599 in the valleysH5158; They flowH1980 betweenH996 the mountainsH2022;11They 25giveH8248 drinkH8248 to everyH3605 beastH2421 of the fieldH7706; The 26wildH6501 donkeysH6501 quenchH7665 their thirstH6772.1227BesideH5921 them the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 28dwellH7931; They 29liftH5414 up their voicesH6963 amongH4480H996 the branchesH6074.1330He 31watersH8248 the mountainsH2022 from His upperH5944 chambersH5944; 32The earthH776 is satisfiedH7646 with the fruitH6529 of His worksH4639.

1433He causes the 34grassH2682 to growH6779 for the 35cattleH929, And 36vegetationH6212 for the 37laborH5656 of manH120, So that 38he may bringH3318 forthH3318 39foodH3899 40from the earthH776,15And 41wineH3196 which makesH8055 man’sH582 heartH3824 gladH8055, 42So that he may make his faceH6440 glistenH6670 with oilH8081, And 43foodH3899 which 44sustainsH5582 man’sH582 heartH3824.16The treesH6086 of the LordH3068 45drinkH7646 their fillH7646, The cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844 whichH834 He plantedH5193,17WhereH834H8033 the 46birdsH6833 buildH7077 their nestsH7077, And the 47storkH2624, whose homeH1004 is the 48firH1265 treesH1265.

18The highH1364 mountainsH2022 are for the 49wildH3277 goatsH3277; The 50cliffsH5553 are a refugeH4268 for the 5152shephanimH8227.19He madeH6213 the moonH3394 53for the seasonsH4150; The 54sunH8121 knowsH3045 the placeH3996 of its settingH3996.20You 55appointH7896 darknessH2822 and it becomesH1961 nightH3915, In which allH3605 the 56beastsH2421 of the forestH3293 57prowlH7430 aboutH7430.21The 58youngH3715 lionsH3715 roarH7580 after their preyH2964 59And 60seekH1245 their foodH400 from GodH410.22When the sunH8121 risesH2224 they withdrawH622 And lieH7257 downH7257 in their 61densH4585.23ManH120 goesH3318 forthH3318 to 62his workH6467 And to his laborH5656 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

24O LordH3068, howH4100 63manyH7231 are Your worksH4639! 64In 65wisdomH2451 You have madeH6213 them allH3605; The 66earthH776 is fullH4390 of Your 67possessionsH7075.2568ThereH2088 is the 69seaH3220, greatH1419 and 70broadH7342, In whichH8033 are swarmsH7431 withoutH369 numberH4557, AnimalsH2421 both smallH6996 and greatH1419.26ThereH8033 the 71shipsH591 moveH1980 along, And 7273LeviathanH3882, whichH2088 You have formedH3336 to sportH7832 in it.

27They allH3605 74waitH7663 for You To 75giveH5414 them their foodH400 in 76due seasonH6256.28You giveH5414 to them, they gatherH3950 it up; You 77openH6605 Your handH3027, they are satisfiedH7646 with goodH2896.29You 78hideH5641 Your faceH6440, they are dismayedH926; You 79takeH622 awayH622 their 80spiritH7307, they expireH1478 And 81returnH7725 to their dustH6083.30You sendH7971 forth Your 8283SpiritH7307, they are createdH1254; And You renewH2318 the faceH6440 of the groundH127.

31Let the 84gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 endureH1961 foreverH5769; Let the LordH3068 85be gladH8055 in His worksH4639;3286He 87looksH5027 at the earthH776, and it 88tremblesH7460; He 89touchesH5060 the mountainsH2022, and they smokeH6225.3390I will singH2167 to the LordH3068 9192as long as I liveH2425; 93I will 94singH2167 praiseH2167 to my GodH430 95whileH5750 I have my being.34Let my 96meditationH7879 be pleasingH6149 to Him; As for me, I shall 97be gladH8055 in the LordH3068.35Let sinnersH2400 be 98consumedH8552 from the earthH776 And let the 99wickedH7563 be noH369 moreH5750. 100BlessH1288 the LordH3068, O my soulH5315. 101102PraiseH1984 103the LordH3050!
