Psalm 104 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Psa 104:1Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;
Psa 104:2Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; --
Psa 104:3Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who maketh clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
Psa 104:4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.
Psa 104:5He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.
Psa 104:6Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains:
Psa 104:7At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; --
Psa 104:8The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; --
Psa 104:9Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Psa 104:10He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;
Psa 104:11They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
Psa 104:12The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.
Psa 104:13He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
Psa 104:14He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,
Psa 104:15And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making his face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart.
Psa 104:16The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
Psa 104:17Where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Psa 104:18The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.
Psa 104:19He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.
Psa 104:20Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth:
Psa 104:21The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from God.
Psa 104:22The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens.
Psa 104:23Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.
Psa 104:24How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Psa 104:25Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.
Psa 104:26There go the ships; there that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.
Psa 104:27These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:
Psa 104:28That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
Psa 104:29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.
Psa 104:30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Psa 104:31The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.
Psa 104:32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
Psa 104:33I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.
Psa 104:34My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.
Psa 104:35Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
