Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

1 Bless the LORD O my soul, O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

4 Who maketh winds his messengers; his ministers a flaming fire:

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved for ever.

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away;

8 They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; they run among the mountains:

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

12 By them the fowl of the heaven have their habitation, they sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
