104:1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

104:2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

104:3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

104:4 He makes his messengers winds; His servants flames of fire.

104:5 He laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved forever.

104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

104:7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

104:8 The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them.

104:9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don`t turn again to cover the earth.

104:10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

104:11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

104:12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

104:13 He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for man to cultivate, That he may bring forth food out of the earth:

104:15 Wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengthens man`s heart.

104:16 Yahweh`s trees are well watered, The cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

104:17 Where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

104:20 You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl.

104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

104:22 The sun rises, and they steal away, And lay down in their dens.

104:23 Man goes forth to his work, To his labor until the evening.

104:24 Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

104:25 There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable living things, Both small and great animals.

104:26 There the ships go, And leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

104:27 These all wait for you, That you may give them their food in due season.

104:28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

104:29 You hide your face: they are troubled; You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

104:30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

104:31 Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

104:32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

104:33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

104:34 Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
