104:1
O LORD, my God, how great you are! You are clothed with majesty and glory; |
104:2
you cover yourself with light. You have spread out the heavens like a tent |
104:3
and built your home on the waters above. You use the clouds as your chariot
and ride on the wings of the wind. |
104:4
You use the winds as your messengers and flashes of lightning as your
servants. |
104:5
You have set the earth firmly on its foundations, and it will never be moved.
|
104:6
You placed the ocean over it like a robe, and the water covered the
mountains. |
104:7
When you rebuked the waters, they fled; they rushed away when they heard your
shout of command. |
104:8
They flowed over the mountains and into the valleys, to the place you had
made for them. |
104:9
You set a boundary they can never pass, to keep them from covering the earth
again. |
104:10
You make springs flow in the valleys, and rivers run between the hills. |
104:11
They provide water for the wild animals; there the wild donkeys quench their
thirst. |
104:12
In the trees near by, the birds make their nests and sing. |
104:13
From the sky you send rain on the hills, and the earth is filled with your
blessings. |
104:14
You make grass grow for the cattle and plants for us to use, so that we can
grow our crops |
104:15
and produce wine to make us happy, olive oil to make us cheerful, and bread
to give us strength. |
104:16
The cedars of Lebanon get plenty of rain--- the LORD's own trees, which he
planted. |
104:17
There the birds build their nests; the storks nest in the fir trees. |
104:18
The wild goats live in the high mountains, and the rock badgers hide in the
cliffs. |
104:19
You created the moon to mark the months; the sun knows the time to set. |
104:20
You made the night, and in the darkness all the wild animals come out. |
104:21
The young lions roar while they hunt, looking for the food that God provides.
|
104:22
When the sun rises, they go back and lie down in their dens. |
104:23
Then people go out to do their work and keep working until evening. |
104:24
LORD, you have made so many things! How wisely you made them all! The earth
is filled with your creatures. |
104:25
There is the ocean, large and wide, where countless creatures live, large and
small alike. |
104:26
The ships sail on it, and in it plays Leviathan, that sea monster which you
made. |
104:27
All of them depend on you to give them food when they need it. |
104:28
You give it to them, and they eat it; you provide food, and they are
satisfied. |
104:29
When you turn away, they are afraid; when you take away your breath, they die
and go back to the dust from which they came. |
104:30
But when you give them breath, they are created; you give new life to the
earth. |
104:31
May the glory of the LORD last forever! May the LORD be happy with what he
has made! |
104:32
He looks at the earth, and it trembles; he touches the mountains, and they
pour out smoke. |
104:33
I will sing to the LORD all my life; as long as I live I will sing praises to
my God. |
104:34
May he be pleased with my song, for my gladness comes from him. |
104:35
May sinners be destroyed from the earth; may the wicked be no more. Praise
the LORD, my soul! Praise the LORD! |
