Psalm 104 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 104:1

Psa 104:1Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.

Psa 104:2

Psa 104:2You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:

Psa 104:3

Psa 104:3The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:

Psa 104:4

Psa 104:4He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.

Psa 104:5

Psa 104:5He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;

Psa 104:6

Psa 104:6Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;

Psa 104:7

Psa 104:7At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;

Psa 104:8

Psa 104:8The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.

Psa 104:9

Psa 104:9You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.

Psa 104:10

Psa 104:10You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills.

Psa 104:11

Psa 104:11They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water.

Psa 104:12

Psa 104:12The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches.

Psa 104:13

Psa 104:13He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works.

Psa 104:14

Psa 104:14He makes the grass come up for the cattle, and plants for the use of man; so that bread may come out of the earth;

Psa 104:15

Psa 104:15And wine to make glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shining, and bread giving strength to his heart.

Psa 104:16

Psa 104:16The trees of the Lord are full of growth, the cedars of Lebanon of his planting;

Psa 104:17

Psa 104:17Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house.

Psa 104:18

Psa 104:18The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts.

Psa 104:19

Psa 104:19He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down.

Psa 104:20

Psa 104:20When you make it dark, it is night, when all the beasts of the woods come quietly out of their secret places.

Psa 104:21

Psa 104:21The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.

Psa 104:22

Psa 104:22The sun comes up, and they come together, and go back to their secret places to take their rest.

Psa 104:23

Psa 104:23Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening.

Psa 104:24

Psa 104:24O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made.

Psa 104:25

Psa 104:25There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered.

Psa 104:26

Psa 104:26There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.

Psa 104:27

Psa 104:27All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.

Psa 104:28

Psa 104:28They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.

Psa 104:29

Psa 104:29If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust.

Psa 104:30

Psa 104:30If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.

Psa 104:31

Psa 104:31Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:

Psa 104:32

Psa 104:32At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.

Psa 104:33

Psa 104:33I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

Psa 104:34

Psa 104:34Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord.

Psa 104:35

Psa 104:35Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.
