Psalm 104 (ASV) - Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Psa 104:1

Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

O Jehovah my God, thou art very great;

Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:

Psa 104:2

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;

Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

Psa 104:3

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;

Who maketh the clouds his chariot;

Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

Psa 104:4

Who maketh winds his messengers;

Flames of fire his ministers;

Psa 104:5

Who laid the foundations of the earth,

That it should not be moved for ever.

Psa 104:6

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;

The waters stood above the mountains.

Psa 104:7

At thy rebuke they fled;

At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

Psa 104:8

(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)

Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

Psa 104:9

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;

That they turn not again to cover the earth.

Psa 104:10

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;

They run among the mountains;

Psa 104:11

They give drink to every beast of the field;

The wild asses quench their thirst.

Psa 104:12

By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;

They sing among the branches.

Psa 104:13

He watereth the mountains from his chambers:

The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

Psa 104:14

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

And herb for the service of man;

That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

Psa 104:15

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,

And oil to make his face to shine,

And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.

Psa 104:16

The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture,

The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Psa 104:17

Where the birds make their nests:

As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

Psa 104:18

The high mountains are for the wild goats;

The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

Psa 104:19

He appointed the moon for seasons:

The sun knoweth his going down.

Psa 104:20

Thou makest darkness, and it is night,

Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

Psa 104:21

The young lions roar after their prey,

And seek their food from God.

Psa 104:22

The sun ariseth, they get them away,

And lay them down in their dens.

Psa 104:23

Man goeth forth unto his work

And to his labor until the evening.

Psa 104:24

O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!

In wisdom hast thou made them all:

The earth is full of thy riches.

Psa 104:25

Yonder is the sea, great and wide,

Wherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.

Psa 104:26

There go the ships;

There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

Psa 104:27

These wait all for thee,

That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

Psa 104:28

Thou givest unto them, they gather;

Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

Psa 104:29

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled;

Thou takest away their breath, they die,

And return to their dust.

Psa 104:30

Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created;

And thou renewest the face of the ground.

Psa 104:31

Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever;

Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

Psa 104:32

Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth;

He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

Psa 104:33

I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live:

I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

Psa 104:34

Let my meditation be sweet unto him:

I will rejoice in Jehovah.

Psa 104:35

Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.

And let the wicked be no more.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Praise ye Jehovah.
