PSALM 104

The LORD Creates the Earth in Wisdom

A psalm to David.

1 Bless [³O my soul ¹the ² lord]! O lord my God, you are magnified exceedingly. [²acknowledgment ³and ⁴majesty ¹You clothed yourself with]; 2 cloaking on light as a garment; stretching out the heaven as a hide covering; 3 roofing [²with ³waters ¹his upper rooms]; placing clouds for his step; the one walking upon the wings of the winds; 4 the one making his angels winds, and his ministers [²of fire ¹a flame]; 5 the one laying the foundation for the earth in its stability (it shall not lean into the eon of the eon); 6 the deep as a garment of his wrap. Upon the mountains [²shall stand ¹waters]; 7 from your reproach they shall flee; from the sound of your thunder they shall show timidity. 8 They ascend the mountains, and go down to the plains, to a place where you laid a foundation for them. 9 [²a limit ¹You placed] which they shall not pass, nor shall they return to cover the earth. 10 The one sending out springs in ravines; [³in the midst ⁴of the ⁵mountains ²shall go through ¹waters]; 11 they shall water all the wild beasts of the field; [²shall receive it ¹wild donkeys] for their thirst; 12 by them the winged creatures of the heaven shall encamp; from between the rocks they shall give out a sound; 13 watering mountains from out of his upper rooms. By the fruit of your works [³shall be filled ¹the ²earth]. 14 The one causing [²to rise up ¹grass] to the cattle, and tender shoots to the service of the men, to bring bread from the earth; 15 and wine makes glad the heart of man; to make [²happy ¹his face] with olive oil; and bread [²the heart ³of man ¹supports]. 16 [⁵shall be filled ¹The ²woods ³of the ⁴plain] with the cedars of Lebanon which you planted. 17 There the sparrows will nest; [²of the ³heron ¹the dwelling] takes lead over them; 18 [²mountains ¹the high] for the stags; a rock of refuge for the hyrax. 19 He made the moon for seasons; the sun knows his setting. 20 You made darkness, and [²happened ¹night]; [⁷in ⁸it ⁶go ¹all ²the ³wild beasts ⁴of the ⁵forest]. 21 Lion cubs roaring to seize by force; and seeking from God food for themselves. 22 [³arose ¹The ²sun], and they were brought together, and in their lairs they shall lay down. 23 [²shall go forth ¹Man] unto his work, even unto his work until evening. 24 How [²were magnified ¹your works], O lord; [²all ³in ⁴wisdom ¹you made]; [³was filled ¹the ²earth] of your creation; 25 this the [²sea ¹great] and broad space; located there are reptiles which there is no count; living creatures -- small with the great; 26 there boats travel over; this dragon whom you shaped to sport in it. 27 All [²from ³you ¹expect] to give them nourishment in an opportune time. 28 At your giving to them, they shall collect; opening your hand, all things shall be filled by that which is good. 29 But at the turning of your face they shall be disturbed; you shall take away in return their spirit, and they shall fail, and unto their dust they shall return. 30 You shall send out your spirit, and they shall be created; and you shall renew the face of the earth. 31 Let [⁴be ¹the ²glory ³of the lord] into the eons! The lord shall be glad over his works; 32 the one looking upon the earth, and making it to tremble; the one touching the mountains and they smoke. 33 I shall sing to the lord in my life. I shall strum to my God while I exist. 34 Let [²be delicious ³to him ¹my versification], and I shall be glad in the lord. 35 [²failed ¹Sinners] from the earth, and lawless ones so as for [²to not ³exist ¹them]. Bless [³O my soul ¹the ² lord]!
