Psalms 104:1-13 ▼

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O 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 upon 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 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.

8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established 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 drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; They lift up their voices among the branches.

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