Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

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

2 Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.

3 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks on the wings of the wind;

4 He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers.

5 He established the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not totter forever and ever.

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

7 They fled from Your rebuke, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established for them.

9 You set a boundary so that they will 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 drink to every animal of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky dwell beside them; They lift up their voices from among the branches.

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