Psalm 104

Common English Bible CEB

1 Let my whole being bless the LORD! LORD my God, how fantastic you are! You are clothed in glory and grandeur!

2 You wear light like a robe; you open the skies like a curtain.

3 You build your lofty house on the waters; you make the clouds your chariot, going around on the wings of the wind.

4 You make the winds your messengers; you make fire and flame your ministers.

5 You established the earth on its foundations so that it will never ever fall.

6 You covered it with the watery deep like a piece of clothing; the waters were higher than the mountains!

7 But at your rebuke they ran away; they fled in fear at the sound of your thunder.

8 They flowed over the mountains, streaming down the valleys to the place you established for them.

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross so they'll never again cover the earth.

10 You put gushing springs into dry riverbeds. They flow between the mountains,

11 providing water for every wild animal— the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Overhead, the birds in the sky make their home, chirping loudly in the trees.

13 From your lofty house, you water the mountains. The earth is filled full by the fruit of what you've done.

14 You make grass grow for cattle; you make plants for human farming in order to get food from the ground,

15 and wine, which cheers people's hearts, along with oil, which makes the face shine, and bread, which sustains the human heart.

16 The LORD's trees are well watered— the cedars of Lebanon, which God planted,

17 where the birds make their nests, where the stork has a home in the cypresses.

18 The high mountains belong to the mountain goats; the ridges are the refuge of badgers.

19 God made the moon for the seasons, and the sun too, which knows when to set.

20 You bring on the darkness and it is night, when every forest animal prowls.

21 The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.

22 When the sun rises, they gather together and lie down in their dens.

23 Then people go off to their work, to do their work until evening.

24 LORD, you have done so many things! You made them all so wisely! The earth is full of your creations!

25 And then there's the sea, wide and deep, with its countless creatures— living things both small and large.

26 There go the ships on it, and Leviathan, which you made, plays in it!

27 All your creations wait for you to give them their food on time.

28 When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled completely full!

29 But when you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to dust.

30 When you let loose your breath, they are created, and you make the surface of the ground brand-new again.

31 Let the LORD's glory last forever! Let the LORD rejoice in all he has made!

32 He has only to look at the earth, and it shakes. God just touches the mountains, and they erupt in smoke.

33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I'm still alive.

34 Let my praise be pleasing to him; I'm rejoicing in the LORD!

35 Let sinners be wiped clean from the earth; let the wicked be no more. But let my whole being bless the LORD! Praise the LORD!

The Message Bible MSG

1 O my soul, bless God! God, my God, how great you are! beautifully, gloriously robed,

2 Dressed up in sunshine, and all heaven stretched out for your tent.

3 You built your palace on the ocean deeps, made a chariot out of clouds and took off on wind-wings.

4 You commandeered winds as messengers, appointed fire and flame as ambassadors.

5 You set earth on a firm foundation so that nothing can shake it, ever.

6 You blanketed earth with ocean, covered the mountains with deep waters;

7 Then you roared and the water ran away - your thunder crash put it to flight.

8 Mountains pushed up, valleys spread out in the places you assigned them.

9 You set boundaries between earth and sea; never again will earth be flooded.

10 You started the springs and rivers, sent them flowing among the hills.

11 All the wild animals now drink their fill, wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Along the riverbanks the birds build nests, ravens make their voices heard.

13 You water the mountains from your heavenly cisterns; earth is supplied with plenty of water.

14 You make grass grow for the livestock, hay for the animals that plow the ground. Oh yes, God brings grain from the land,

15 wine to make people happy, Their faces glowing with health, a people well-fed and hearty.

16 God's trees are well-watered - the Lebanon cedars he planted.

17 Birds build their nests in those trees; look - the stork at home in the treetop.

18 Mountain goats climb about the cliffs; badgers burrow among the rocks.

19 The moon keeps track of the seasons, the sun is in charge of each day.

20 When it's dark and night takes over, all the forest creatures come out.

21 The young lions roar for their prey, clamoring to God for their supper.

22 When the sun comes up, they vanish, lazily stretched out in their dens.

23 Meanwhile, men and women go out to work, busy at their jobs until evening.

24 What a wildly wonderful world, God! You made it all, with Wisdom at your side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations.

25 Oh, look - the deep, wide sea, brimming with fish past counting, sardines and sharks and salmon.

26 Ships plow those waters, and Leviathan, your pet dragon, romps in them.

27 All the creatures look expectantly to you to give them their meals on time.

28 You come, and they gather around; you open your hand and they eat from it.

29 If you turned your back, they'd die in a minute - Take back your Spirit and they die, revert to original mud;

30 Send out your Spirit and they spring to life - the whole countryside in bloom and blossom.

31 The glory of God - let it last forever! Let God enjoy his creation!

32 He takes one look at earth and triggers an earthquake, points a finger at the mountains, and volcanoes erupt.

33 Oh, let me sing to God all my life long, sing hymns to my God as long as I live!

34 Oh, let my song please him; I'm so pleased to be singing to God.

35 But clear the ground of sinners - no more godless men and women! O my soul, bless God!
