Psalm 104

New American Standard Bible 2020

The Lord’s Care over All His Works.

11BlessH1288 the LordH3068, my soulH5315! LordH3068 my GodH430, You areH1431 veryH3966 greatH1431; You are 2clothedH3847 with splendorH1935 and majestyH1926,2CoveringH5844 Yourself with 3lightH216 as with a cloakH8008, 4StretchingH5186 outH5186 heavenH8064 like a tentH3407 curtainH3407.35He 6laysH7136 the beamsH7136 of His upperH5944 chambersH5944 in the watersH4325; 7He makesH7760 the 8cloudsH5645 His chariotH7398; 9He walksH1980 on 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 seaH8415 as with a garmentH3830; The watersH4325 were standingH5975 aboveH5921 the mountainsH2022.7They fledH5127 from Your 19rebukeH1606, 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 so that they will 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 animalH2421 of the fieldH7706; The 26wildH6501 donkeysH6501 quenchH7665 their thirstH6772.12The birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 27dwellH7931 28besideH5921 them; They 29liftH5414 upH5414 their voicesH6963 from amongH996 the branchesH6074.1330He 31watersH8248 the mountainsH2022 from His upperH5944 chambersH5944; 32The earthH776 isH7646 satisfiedH7646 with the fruitH6529 of His worksH4639.

1433He causes the 34grassH2682 to growH6779 for the 35cattleH929, And 36vegetationH6212 for the laborH5656 of mankindH120, So that 37they may produceH3318 38foodH3899 39from the earthH776,15And 40wineH3196, which makesH8055 a humanH582 heartH3824 cheerfulH8055, 41So that he makes his faceH6440 gleamH6670 with oilH8081, And 42foodH3899, which 43sustainsH5582 a humanH582 heartH3824.16The treesH6086 of the LordH3068 44drinkH7646 their fillH7646, The cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844 whichH834 He plantedH5193,17WhereH834H8033 the 45birdsH6833 buildH7077 their nestsH7077, And the 46storkH2624, whose homeH1004 is the juniperH1265 treesH1265.

18The highH1364 mountainsH2022 are for the 47wildH3277 goatsH3277; The 48cliffsH5553 are a refugeH4268 for the 49rockH8227 hyraxH8227.19He madeH6213 the moonH3394 50for the seasonsH4150; The 51sunH8121 knowsH3045 the placeH3996 ofH3996 its settingH3996.20You 52appointH7896 darknessH2822 and it becomesH1961 nightH3915, In which allH3605 the 53animalsH2421 of the forestH3293 54prowlH7430 aboutH7430.21The 55youngH3715 lionsH3715 roarH7580 for their preyH2964 56And 57seekH1245 their foodH400 from GodH410.22When the sunH8121 risesH2224 they withdrawH622, And they lieH7257 downH7257 in their 58densH4585.23A personH120 goesH3318 outH3318 to 59his workH6467 And to his laborH5656 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

24LordH3068, howH4100 60manyH7231 areH7231 Your worksH4639! 61In 62wisdomH2451 You have madeH6213 them allH3605; The 63earthH776 is fullH4390 of Your 64possessionsH7075.2565ThereH2088 is the 66seaH3220, greatH1419 and 67broadH7342, InH8033 whichH8033 are swarmsH7431 withoutH369 numberH4557, AnimalsH2421 both smallH6996 and greatH1419.26The 68shipsH591 moveH1980 along thereH8033, And 6970LeviathanH3882, whichH2088 You have formedH3336 to haveH7832 funH7832 in it.

27They allH3605 71waitH7663 for You To 72giveH5414 them their foodH400 in 73due seasonH6256.28You giveH5414 to them, they gatherH3950 it upH3950; You 74openH6605 Your handH3027, they areH7646 satisfiedH7646 with goodH2896.29You 75hideH5641 Your faceH6440, they are terrifiedH926; You 76takeH622 awayH622 their breathH7307, they perishH1478 And 77returnH7725 to their dustH6083.30You sendH7971 forth Your 7879SpiritH7307, they are createdH1254; And You renewH2318 the faceH6440 of the groundH127.

31May the 80gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 endureH1961 foreverH5769; May the LordH3068 81rejoiceH8055 in His worksH4639;3282He 83looksH5027 at the earthH776, and it 84tremblesH7460; He 85touchesH5060 the mountainsH2022, and they smokeH6225.3386I will singH2167 to the LordH3068 8788as long as I liveH2425; 89I will 90singH2167 praiseH2167 to my GodH430 91whileH5750 I have my being.34May my 92praiseH7879 be pleasingH6149 to Him; As for me, I shall 93rejoiceH8055 in the LordH3068.35May sinnersH2400 be 94removedH8552 from the earthH776 And may the 95wickedH7563 be noH369 moreH5750. 96BlessH1288 the LordH3068, my soulH5315. 9798PraiseH1984 99the LordH3050!
