Psalm 104

1 O my soul, bless YHWH! O YHWH my God, You are very great; with honor and majesty You are clothed.

2 Covering Himself [with] light as a garment, stretching out the heavens like a curtain,

3 the One laying the beams in the waters of His upper chambers, the One making the clouds His chariot, the One walking on the wings of the wind,

4 making the winds His messengers, His servants flaming fire.

5 He set the earth upon [its] foundations; it should not be shaken forever and ever.

6 The deep, as [with] a garment You covered it; upon the mountains the waters were standing.

7 From Your rebuke they fled; from the voice of Your thunder they hurried away.

8 Upon the mountains, the valleys sank down, to the place that You established for them.

9 You have set a boundary [that] they may not cross over; they may never return to cover the earth.

10 He sends the springs into the valleys; they flow between the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys break their thirst.

12 Nearby them the birds of the heavens are dwelling; from between the branches they give forth a voice.

13 Watering the hills from His upper chambers; with the fruit of Your works the earth is satisfied—

14 causing the grass to sprout for the cattle, and vegetation for the service of man, to bring forth food from the earth,

15 and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make [his] face shine from oil, and bread supports the heart of man.

16 The trees of YHWH are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,

17 where in the birds make their nests; the stork—the cypresses [are] her house.

18 The high mountains [are] for the wild goats; the crags a refuge for the rock badgers.

19 He made the moon for appointed times; the sun knows its entrance.

20 You make darkness, and it becomes night; in it all the living [things] of the forest creep about.

21 The young lions roar for the prey and seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, they are gathered; and in their dens they stretch out.

23 Man goes out to his work, and to his labor until the evening.

24 How many are Your works, O YHWH! All of them You have made in wisdom; the earth is full of Your creatures.

25 This [is] the sea, great and wide—in it [are] teeming things, and without number, living things small with the great.

26 There the ships go about, [and] Leviathan, which You formed to play in it.

27 All of them look to You, to give their food, in its season.

28 You give to them, [and] they gather in; You open Your hand, [and] they are satisfied [with] good.

29 You hide Your face—they are troubled; You gather their spirit—they die, and to their dust they return.

30 You send forth Your Spirit—they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.

31 May the glory of YHWH be forever; may YHWH rejoice in His works—

32 the One looking on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing to YHWH during my life; I will sing praise to my God while I [live]!

34 May my melody be pleasing to Him; I rejoice in YHWH.

35 May the sinful ones be consumed from the earth, and the wicked shall not be anymore! O my soul, bless YHWH! Hallelu YAH!
