Psalms

Chapter 104

  • 1

    Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

  • 2

    Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

  • 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:

  • 4

    Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

  • 5

    Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

  • 6

    Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

  • 7

    At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

  • 8

    They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

  • 9

    Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

  • 10

    He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

  • 11

    They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

  • 12

    By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

  • 13

    He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

  • 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;

  • 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.

  • 16

    The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

  • 17

    Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

  • 18

    The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

  • 19

    He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

  • 20

    Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

  • 21

    The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

  • 22

    The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

  • 23

    Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

  • 24

    O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

  • 25

    So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

  • 26

    There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

  • 27

    These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

  • 28

    That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

  • 29

    Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

  • 30

    Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

  • 31

    The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.

  • 32

    He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

  • 33

    I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

  • 34

    My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

  • 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.
