Psalms 104:1-30

Psalms 104:1-30

[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] 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  [8] They go up  by the mountains;  they go down  by the valleys  unto the place  which  thou hast founded  [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.
