Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

1 Bless Yahweh, O my soul! O Yahweh my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

2 Wrapping Yourself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out the heavens like a tent curtain.

3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He sets up the clouds to be His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind;

4 He makes His angels the winds, His ministers flaming fire.

5 He founded the earth upon its place, So that it will not shake forever and ever.

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

7 At Your rebuke they fled, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away in alarm.

8 The mountains went up; the valleys went down To the place which You founded for them.

9 You set a boundary that they may not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

10 He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains;

11 They give water to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Above them the birds of the heavens dwell; They give forth their voices among the branches.

13 He gives water to the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.
