Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

1 Bless, O my soul, YHWH! YHWH, my God, || You have been very great, || You have put on splendor and majesty.

2 Covering Himself [with] light as a garment, || Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

3 Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, || Who is making thick clouds His chariot, || Who is walking on wings of wind,

4 Making His messengers—the winds, || His ministers—the flaming fire.

5 He has founded earth on its bases, || It is not moved for all time and forever.

6 The abyss! You have covered it as with clothing, || Waters stand above hills.

7 They flee from Your rebuke, || They hurry away from the voice of Your thunder.

8 They go up hills—they go down valleys, || To a place You have founded for them.

9 You have set a border, they do not pass over, || They do not turn back to cover the earth.

10 He is sending forth fountains in valleys, || They go on between hills.

11 They water every beast of the field, || Wild donkeys break their thirst.

12 The bird of the heavens dwells by them, || From between the branches || They give forth the voice.

13 Watering hills from His upper chambers, || The earth is satisfied from the fruit of Your works.
