Psalm 104

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, thou art very great! Thou art clothed with honor and majesty,

2 who coverest thyself with light as with a garment, who hast stretched out the heavens like a tent,

3 who hast laid the beams of thy chambers on the waters, who makest the clouds thy chariot, who ridest on the wings of the wind,

4 who makest the winds thy messengers, fire and flame thy ministers.

5 Thou didst set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be shaken.

6 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the sound of thy thunder they took to flight.

8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou didst appoint for them.

9 Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.

10 Thou makest springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills,

11 they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among the branches.

13 From thy lofty abode thou waterest the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy work.

14 Thou dost cause the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth,

15 and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread to strengthen man's heart.

16 The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted.

17 In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees.

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

19 Thou hast made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

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

22 When the sun rises, they get them away and lie down in their dens.

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

24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy creatures.

25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, which teems with things innumerable, living things both small and great.

26 There go the ships, and Leviathan which thou didst form to sport in it.

27 These all look to thee, to give them their food in due season.

28 When thou givest to them, they gather it up; when thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good things.

29 When thou hidest thy face, they are dismayed; when thou takest away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

30 When thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the ground.

31 May the glory of the LORD endure for ever, may the LORD rejoice in his works,

32 who looks on the earth and it trembles, who 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 being.

34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more! Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!

Good News Translation GNT

1 Praise the Lord, my soul! O Lord, my God, how great you are! You are clothed with majesty and glory;

2 you cover yourself with light. You have spread out the heavens like a tent

3 and built your home on the waters above. You use the clouds as your chariot and ride on the wings of the wind.

4 You use the winds as your messengers and flashes of lightning as your servants.

5 You have set the earth firmly on its foundations, and it will never be moved.

6 You placed the ocean over it like a robe, and the water covered the mountains.

7 When you rebuked the waters, they fled; they rushed away when they heard your shout of command.

8 They flowed over the mountains and into the valleys, to the place you had made for them.

9 You set a boundary they can never pass, to keep them from covering the earth again.

10 You make springs flow in the valleys, and rivers run between the hills.

11 They provide water for the wild animals; there the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 In the trees near by, the birds make their nests and sing.

13 From the sky you send rain on the hills, and the earth is filled with your blessings.

14 You make grass grow for the cattle and plants for us to use, so that we can grow our crops

15 and produce wine to make us happy, olive oil to make us cheerful, and bread to give us strength.

16 The cedars of Lebanon get plenty of rain - the Lord's own trees, which he planted.

17 There the birds build their nests; the storks nest in the fir trees.

18 The wild goats live in the high mountains, and the rock badgers hide in the cliffs.

19 You created the moon to mark the months; the sun knows the time to set.

20 You made the night, and in the darkness all the wild animals come out.

21 The young lions roar while they hunt, looking for the food that God provides.

22 When the sun rises, they go back and lie down in their dens.

23 Then people go out to do their work and keep working until evening.

24 Lord, you have made so many things! How wisely you made them all! The earth is filled with your creatures.

25 There is the ocean, large and wide, where countless creatures live, large and small alike.

26 The ships sail on it, and in it plays Leviathan, that sea monster which you made.

27 All of them depend on you to give them food when they need it.

28 You give it to them, and they eat it; you provide food, and they are satisfied.

29 When you turn away, they are afraid; when you take away your breath, they die and go back to the dust from which they came.

30 But when you give them breath, they are created; you give new life to the earth.

31 May the glory of the Lord last forever! May the Lord be happy with what he has made!

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

33 I will sing to the Lord all my life; as long as I live I will sing praises to my God.

34 May he be pleased with my song, for my gladness comes from him.

35 May sinners be destroyed from the earth; may the wicked be no more. Praise the Lord, my soul! Praise the Lord!
