Psa 104:1
Bless H1288 Yahweh H3068, O my soul H5315!
O Yahweh H3068 my God H430, You are H1431 very H3966 great H1431;
You are clothed H3847 with splendor H1935 and majesty H1926,
Psa 104:2
Wrapping H5844 Yourself with light H216 as with a cloak H8008,
Stretching H5186 out H5186 the heavens H8064 like a tent curtain H3407.
Psa 104:3
[fn]He lays H7136 the beams H7136 of His upper H5944 chambers H5944 in the waters H4325;
[fn]He sets H7760 up H7760 the clouds H5645 to be His chariot H7398;
[fn]He walks H1980 upon the wings H3671 of the wind H7307;
Psa 104:4
[fn]He makes H6213 His [fn]angels H4397 the winds H7307,
His ministers H8334 flaming H3857 fire H784.
Psa 104:5
He founded H3245 the earth H776 upon its place H4349,
So that it will not [fn]shake H4131 forever H5769 and ever H5703.
Psa 104:6
You covered H3680 it with the deep H8415 as with a garment H3830;
The waters H4325 were standing H5975 above H5921 the mountains H2022.
Psa 104:7
At Your rebuke H1606 they fled H5127,
At the sound H6963 of Your thunder H7482 they hurried H2648 away H2648 in alarm H2648.
Psa 104:8
The mountains H2022 went up H5927; the valleys H1237 went H3381 down H3381
To the place H4725 which H2088 You founded H3245 for them.
Psa 104:9
You set H7760 a boundary H1366 that they may not pass H5674 over H5674,
So that they will not return H7725 to cover H3680 the earth H776.
Psa 104:10
[fn]He sends H7971 forth springs H4599 in the valleys H5158;
They flow H1980 between H996 the mountains H2022;
Psa 104:11
They give H8248 water H8248 to every H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704;
The wild H6501 donkeys H6501 quench H7665 their thirst H6772.
Psa 104:12
Above H5921 them the birds H5775 of the heavens H8064 dwell H7931;
They give H5414 forth their voices H6963 among H4480 H996 the branches H6073.
Psa 104:13
[fn]He gives H8248 water H8248 to the mountains H2022 from His upper H5944 chambers H5944;
The earth H776 is H7646 satisfied H7646 with the fruit H6529 of His works H4639.
Psa 104:14
[fn]He causes the grass H2682 to grow H6779 for the [fn]cattle H929,
And vegetation H6212 for man’s H120 [fn]cultivation H5656,
To bring H3318 forth H3318 [fn]food H3899 from the earth H776,
Psa 104:15
And wine H3196 which makes H8055 man’s H582 heart H3824 glad H8055,
To make his face H6440 glisten H6670 more than oil H8081,
And [fn]food H3899 which sustains H5582 man’s H582 heart H3824.
Psa 104:16
The trees H6086 of Yahweh H3068 are H7646 satisfied H7646,
The cedars H730 of Lebanon H3844 which H834 He planted H5193,
Psa 104:17
Where H834 H8033 the birds H6833 build H7077 their nests H7077,
The stork’s H2624 home H1004 is in the [fn]fir H1265 trees H1265.
Psa 104:18
The high H1364 mountains H2022 are for the wild H3277 goats H3277;
The cliffs H5553 are a refuge H4268 for the [fn]shephanim H8227.
Psa 104:19
He made H6213 the moon H3394 for the seasons H4150;
The sun H8121 knows H3045 the place H3996 of H3996 its setting H3996.
Psa 104:20
You appoint H7896 darkness H2822 so that it becomes H1961 night H3915,
In which all H3605 the beasts H2416 of the forest H3293 creep H7430 about H7430.
Psa 104:21
The young H3715 lions H3715 roar H7580 to go after their prey H2964
And to seek H1245 their food H400 from God H410.
Psa 104:22
When the sun H8121 rises H2224 they gather H622 together H622
And lie H7257 down H7257 in their dens H4585.
Psa 104:23
Man H120 goes H3318 forth H3318 to his work H6467
And to his labor H5656 until H5704 evening H6153.
Psa 104:24
How H4100 numerous H7231 are H7231 Your works H4639, O Yahweh H3068!
[fn]In wisdom H2451 You have made H6213 them all H3605;
The earth H776 is full H4390 of Your [fn]possessions H7075.
Psa 104:25
This H2088 is the sea H3220, great H1419 and [fn]broad H7342,
There H8033 the creeping H7431 things H7431 are without H369 number H4557,
Creatures H2416 both small H6996 and great H1419.
Psa 104:26
There H8033 the ships H591 move H1980 along,
And [fn]Leviathan H3882, which H2088 You have formed H3336 to play H7832 in it.
Psa 104:27
They all H3605 wait H7663 for You
To give H5414 them their food H400 in [fn]due season H6256.
Psa 104:28
You give H5414 to them, they gather H3950 it up H3950;
You open H6605 Your hand H3027, they are H7646 satisfied H7646 with good H2896.
Psa 104:29
You hide H5641 Your face H6440, they are dismayed H926;
You take H622 away H622 their [fn]spirit H7307, they breathe H1478 their last H1478
And return H7725 to their dust H6083.
Psa 104:30
You send H7971 forth Your [fn]Spirit H7307, they are created H1254;
And You renew H2318 the face H6440 of the ground H127.
Psa 104:31
Let the glory H3519 of Yahweh H3068 endure H1961 forever H5769;
Let Yahweh H3068 be glad H8055 in His works H4639;
Psa 104:32
[fn]He looks H5027 at the earth H776, and it trembles H7460;
He touches H5060 the mountains H2022, and they smoke H6225.
Psa 104:33
[fn]I will sing H2167 to Yahweh H3068 throughout my life H2416;
[fn]I will sing H2167 praise H2167 to my God H430 [fn]while H5750 I have my being.
Psa 104:34
Let my musing H7879 be pleasing H6149 to Him;
As for me, I shall be glad H8055 in Yahweh H3068.
Psa 104:35
Let sinners H2400 be consumed H8552 from the earth H776
And let the wicked H7563 be no H369 more H5750.
Bless H1288 Yahweh H3068, O my soul H5315.
[fn]Praise H1984 Yah H3050!
