Chapter 104 |
1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God,
thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. |
2 | Who coverest thyself with light as with a
garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: |
3 | Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the
1waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the
wings of the wind:

|
4 |
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming
fire:
Heb 1:7
|
5 |
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for
ever. |
6 |
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the
mountains. |
7 |
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. |
8
| They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto
the place which thou hast founded for them. |
9 | Thou hast
set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to
cover the earth. |
10 | He
sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. |
11 | They give drink to every beast of the
field: the wild asses quench their thirst. |
12 |
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing
among the branches. |
13 |
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the
fruit of thy works. |
14 |
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of
man: that he may bring forth 1food out of the earth;
1
Gen 1:29,
Psa 146:7,
Acts 14:17
|
15 | And wine that maketh glad the heart of
man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth
man's heart. |
16 | The trees of
the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; |
17 |
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her
house. |
18 | The high hills are a refuge for the wild
goats; and the rocks for the conies. |
19 |
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. |
20
| Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of
the forest do creep forth. |
21 |
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. |
22 |
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in
their dens. |
23 |
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. |
24
| O LORD, how manifold are thy 1works! in wisdom hast
thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
1
Gen 1:31
|
25 | So is this
great and wide 1sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable,
both small and great beasts.
1
Gen 1:20
|
26 | There
go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play
therein. |
27
| These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their
1meat in due season.

Job 35:11,
Job 38:41,

28 | That thou givest them they gather: thou
openest thine hand, they are 1filled with good.

Matt 15:37
|
29 | Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:
thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. |
30 | Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are
created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. |
31 | The glory of the LORD shall endure for
ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. |
32 |
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they
smoke. |
33 |
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my
God while I have my being. |
34 |
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. |
35 |
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no
more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. |
