Psalm 104 - ESV Bible - Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are...

1 ¹Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are ²very great! ³You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

2 covering yourself with light as with a garment, ⁴stretching out the heavens ⁵like a tent.

3 He ⁶lays the beams of his ⁷chambers on the waters; he makes ⁸the clouds his chariot; he rides on ⁹the wings of the wind;

4 he ¹⁰makes his messengers winds, his ¹¹ministers ¹²a flaming fire.

5 He ¹³set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved.

6 You ¹⁴covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At ¹⁵your rebuke they fled; at ¹⁶the sound of your thunder they ¹⁷took to flight.

8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place that you ¹⁸appointed for them.

9 You set ¹⁹a boundary that they may not pass, so that they ²⁰might not again cover the earth.

10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills;

11 they ²¹give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.

13 ²²From your lofty abode you ²³water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.

14 You cause ²⁴the grass to grow for the livestock and ²⁵plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth ²⁶food from the earth

15 and ²⁷wine to gladden the heart of man, ²⁸oil to make his face shine and bread to ²⁹strengthen man's heart.

16 The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, ³⁰the cedars of Lebanon ³¹that he planted.

17 In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees.

18 The high mountains are for ³²the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for ³³the rock badgers.

19 He made the moon to mark the ³⁴seasons;^a the sun knows its time for setting.

20 ³⁵You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about.

21 ³⁶The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.

22 When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their ³⁷dens.

23 ³⁸Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.

24 O LORD, how manifold are your works! In ³⁹wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

25 Here is the sea, great and wide, ⁴⁰which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and great.

26 There go the ships, and ⁴¹Leviathan, which you formed to ⁴²play in it.^b

27 These ⁴³all look to you, to ⁴⁴give them their food in due season.

28 When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you ⁴⁵open your hand, they are filled with good things.

29 When you ⁴⁶hide your face, they are ⁴⁷dismayed; when you ⁴⁸take away their breath, they die and ⁴⁹return to their dust.

30 When you ⁵⁰send forth your Spirit,^c they are created, and you ⁵¹renew the face of the ground.

31 May the glory of the LORD ⁵²endure forever; may the LORD ⁵³rejoice in his works,

32 who looks on the earth and it ⁵⁴trembles, who ⁵⁵touches the mountains and they smoke!

33 I will sing to the LORD ⁵⁶as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

34 May my ⁵⁷meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

35 Let ⁵⁸sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more! ⁵⁹Bless the LORD, O my soul! ⁶⁰Praise the LORD!
