Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

1 My soul, praise Yahweh! LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with majesty and splendor.

2 He wraps Himself in light as if it were a robe, spreading out the sky like a canopy,

3 laying the beams of His palace on the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind,

4 and making the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.

5 He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken.

6 You covered it with the deep as if it were a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—

8 mountains rose and valleys sank— to the place You established for them.

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never cover the earth again.

10 He causes the springs to gush into the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

11 They supply water for every wild beast; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky live beside the springs; they sing among the foliage.

13 He waters the mountains from His palace; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.
