Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

1 <V 103:1>To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are exceedingly great. You have clothed yourself with confession and beauty;

2 <V 103:2>you are dressed with light like a garment, while you stretch out heaven like a tent.

3 <V 103:3>You cover its heights with water. You set the clouds as your stairs. You walk upon the wings of the winds.

4 <V 103:4>You make your Angels a breath of life, and your ministers a burning fire.

5 <V 103:5>You founded the earth upon its stable base. It will not be bent from age to age.

6 <V 103:6>The abyss, like a garment, is its clothing. The waters will remain standing above the mountains.

7 <V 103:7>At your rebuke, they will flee. At the voice of your thunder, they will dread.

8 <V 103:8>The mountains ascend, and the plains descend, to the place which you have founded for them.

9 <V 103:9>You have set a limit that they will not cross. And they will not return to cover the earth.

10 <V 103:10>You spring forth fountains in steep valleys. The waters will cross through the midst of the mountains.

11 <V 103:11>All the wild beasts of the field will drink. The wild donkeys will anticipate in their thirst.

12 <V 103:12>Above them, the flying things of the air will dwell. From the midst of the rocks, they will utter voices.

13 <V 103:13>You irrigate the mountains from your heights. The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,
