Psalm 104 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 104:1Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
Psa 104:2Covering himself with light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
Psa 104:3Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
Psa 104:4Making His messengers -- the winds, His ministers -- the flaming fire.
Psa 104:5He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.
Psa 104:6The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
Psa 104:7From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
Psa 104:8They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.
Psa 104:9A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
Psa 104:10Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.
Psa 104:11They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.
Psa 104:12By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.
Psa 104:13Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
Psa 104:14Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
Psa 104:15And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.
Psa 104:16Satisfied are the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
Psa 104:17Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs are her house.
Psa 104:18The high hills are for wild goats, Rocks are a refuge for conies,
Psa 104:19He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
Psa 104:20Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
Psa 104:21The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
Psa 104:22The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
Psa 104:23Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.
Psa 104:24How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
Psa 104:25This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There are moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.
Psa 104:26There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.
Psa 104:27All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.
Psa 104:28Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they are satisfied with good.
Psa 104:29Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.
Psa 104:30Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
Psa 104:31The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,
Psa 104:32Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.
Psa 104:33I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
Psa 104:34Sweet is my meditation on Him, I -- I do rejoice in Jehovah.
Psa 104:35Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!
