Psalm 104
English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
- My soul, bless the Lord. My God, You are very great, You are attired with majesty and beauty.
- [You] enwrap Yourself with light like a garment; [You] extend the heavens like a curtain.
- Who roofs His upper chambers with water; Who makes clouds His chariot, which goes on the wings of the wind.
- He makes winds His messengers, burning fire His ministers.
- He founded the earth on its foundations that it not falter to eternity.
- You covered the deep as [with] a garment; the waters stand on the mountains.
- From Your rebuke they fled; from the sound of Your thunder they hastened away.
- They ascended mountains, they descended into valleys to this place, which You had founded for them.
- You set a boundary that they should not cross, that they should not return to cover the earth.
- He sends the springs into the streams; they go between the mountains.
- They water every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
- Beside them the fowl of the heavens dwell; from between the branches they let out their voices.
- He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; from the fruit of Your works the earth is sated.
- He causes grass to sprout for the animals and vegetation for the work of man, to bring forth bread from the earth.
- And wine, which cheers man’s heart, to make the face shine from oil, and bread, which sustains man’s heart.
- The Lord’s trees are sated, the cedars of Lebanon, which He planted.
- Where birds nest; as for the stork-the high junipers are its home.
- The lofty mountains for the ibexes; the rocks a shelter for the hyraxes.
- He made the moon for the appointed seasons; the sun knows its setting.
- You make darkness and it is night, in which every beast of the forest moves about.
- The young lions roar for prey and to beg their food from God.
- When the sun rises they gather in and couch in their dens.
- Man goes out to his work, to his labor until evening.
- How great are Your works, O Lord! You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions!
- This sea-great and wide; there are creeping things and innumerable beasts, both small and large.
- There the ships go; You formed this leviathan with which to sport.
- They all look to You with hope, to give their food in its time.
- You give them that they may gather; You open Your hand that they may be sated with goodness.
- You hide Your countenance and they are frightened; You gather in their spirit and they perish and return to their dust.
- You will send forth Your spirit and they will be created, and You will renew the surface of the ground.
- The glory of the Lord will be forever; the Lord will rejoice with His works.
- He Who looks at the earth and it quakes; He touches the mountains and they emit smoke.
- I shall sing to the Lord while I am alive; I shall sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
- May my speech be pleasing to Him; I shall rejoice with the Lord.
- Sinners will be destroyed from the earth and the wicked will be no more; my soul, bless the Lord. Hallelujah.
