Psalm 104

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Bless ADONAI, my soul! ADONAI, my God, you are very great; you are clothed with glory and majesty,

2 wrapped in light as with a robe. You spread out the heavens like a curtain,

3 you laid the beams of your palace on the water. You make the clouds your chariot, you ride on the wings of the wind.

4 You make winds your messengers, fiery flames your servants.

5 You fixed the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

6 You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they rushed away,

8 flowing over hills, pouring into valleys, down to the place you had fixed for them.

9 You determined a boundary they could not cross; they were never to cover the earth again.

10 You make springs gush forth in the vadis; they flow between the hills,

11 supplying water to all the wild animals; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 On their banks the birds of the air build their nests; among the branches they sing.

13 You water the mountains from your palace; the earth is satisfied with how you provide

14 You grow grass for the cattle; and for people you grow the plants they need to bring forth bread from the earth,

15 wine that gladdens the human heart, oil to make faces glow, and food to sustain their strength.

16 ADONAI's trees are satisfied -the cedars of the L'vanon, which he has planted.

17 In them sparrows build their nests, while storks live in the fir trees.

18 For the wild goats there are the high mountains, while the coneys find refuge in the rocks.

19 You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.

20 You bring darkness, and it is night, the time when all forest animals prowl.

21 The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, they slink away and lie down to rest in their dens;

23 while people go out to their work, laboring on till evening.

24 What variety there is in your works, ADONAI! How many [of them there are]! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creations.

25 Look at the sea, so great, so wide! It teems with countless creatures, living beings, both large and small.

26 The ships are there, sailing to and fro; Livyatan, which you formed to play there.

27 All of them look to you to give them their food when they need it.

28 When you give it to them, they gather it; when you open your hand, they are well satisfied.

29 If you hide your face, they vanish; if you hold back their breath, they perish and return to their dust.

30 If you send out your breath, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.

31 May the glory of ADONAI last forever! May ADONAI rejoice in his works!

32 When he looks at the earth, it trembles; when he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke.

33 I will sing to ADONAI as long as I live, sing praise to my God all my life.

34 May my musings be pleasing to him; I will rejoice in ADONAI.

35 May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more! Bless ADONAI, my soul! Halleluyah!

The Bible in Basic English BBE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

24 O 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

35 Let 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.
