O Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 104:2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent 104:3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. 104:4 He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. 104:5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. 104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. 104:7 But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; 104:8 they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. 104:9 You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth. 104:10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. 104:11 They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. 104:12 The birds of the air nest by the waters; they sing among the branches. 104:13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work. 104:14 He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate- bringing forth food from the earth: 104:15 wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart. 104:16 The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. 104:17 There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the pine trees. 104:18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the coneys. 104:19 The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down. 104:20 You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl. 104:21 The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. 104:22 The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens. 104:23 Then man goes out to his work, to his labor until evening. 104:24 How many are your works, O Lord ! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 104:25 There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number- living things both large and small. 104:26 There the ships go to and fro, and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there. 104:27 These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time. 104:28 When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. 104:29 When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. 104:30 When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth. 104:31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works- 104:32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke. 104:33 I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. 104:34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord. 104:35 But may sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Praise the Lord , O my soul. Praise the Lord.
