104:1
|
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. |
|
104:2
|
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: |
|
104:3
|
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: |
|
104:4
|
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: |
|
104:5
|
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. |
|
104:6
|
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. |
|
104:7
|
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. |
|
104:8
|
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. |
|
104:9
|
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. |
|
104:10
|
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. |
|
104:11
|
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. |
|
104:12
|
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. |
|
104:13
|
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. |
|
104:14
|
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; |
|
104:15
|
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. |
|
104:16
|
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; |
|
104:17
|
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. |
|
104:18
|
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. |
|
104:19
|
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. |
|
104:20
|
Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. |
|
104:21
|
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. |
|
104:22
|
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. |
|
104:23
|
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. |
|
104:24
|
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. |
|
104:25
|
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. |
|
104:26
|
There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. |
|
104:27
|
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. |
|
104:28
|
That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. |
|
104:29
|
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. |
|
104:30
|
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. |
|
104:31
|
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. |
|
104:32
|
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. |
|
104:33
|
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. |
|
104:34
|
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. |
|
104:35
|
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. |
