Psalm 104

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Bless the LORD, my soul. The LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes his messengers winds; His servants flames of fire.

5 He laid the foundations of the eretz, That it should not be moved forever.

6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

8 The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them.

9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don't turn again to cover the eretz.

10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from his chambers. The eretz is filled with the fruit of your works.

14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for man to cultivate, That he may bring forth food out of the eretz:

15 Wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengthens man's heart.

16 The LORD's trees are well watered, The cedars of Levanon, which he has planted;

17 Where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

20 You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl.

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

22 The sun rises, and they steal away, And lay down in their dens.

23 Man goes forth to his work, To his labor until the evening.

24 The LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The eretz is full of your riches.

25 There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable living things, Both small and great animals.

26 There the ships go, And livyatan, whom you formed to play there.

27 These all wait for you, That you may give them their food in due season.

28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

29 You hide your face: they are troubled; You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

31 Let the glory of the LORD endure forever. Let the LORD rejoice in his works.

32 He looks at the eretz, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

34 Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in the LORD.

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the eretz. Let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. 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!
