Tehillim 104 תהילים ק״ד

Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God Thou art very great, Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.

Who covers himself with light as with a garment: who stretches out the heavens like a curtain:

who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:

who makes the winds his messengers; the flames of fire his ministers:

who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever.

Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

At Thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of Thy thunder they hastened away;

they went up the mountains; they flowed down the valleys to the place which Thou didst found for them.

Thou didst set a bound that they might not pass over; that they might not turn back to cover the earth.

He sends the springs into the valleys; they flow between the hills:

they give drink to every wild beast: the wild asses quench their thirst.

Beside them dwell the birds of the sky; from among the branches they sing.

He waters the hills from his upper chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works.

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

and wine that makes glad the heart of man; oil to brighten his face; and bread which sustains the heart of man.

The trees of the Lord have their fill; the cedars of Levanon, which he has planted;

where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the cypress trees are her house.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the badgers.

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.

Thou makest darkness, and it is night; when all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

The sun rises, they slink away, and lay them down in their dens.

Man goes forth to his work and to his labour until the evening.

O Lord, how manifold are Thy works! in wisdom hast Thou made them all: the earth is full of Thy creatures.

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are creeping things innumerable, both small and great beasts.

There go the ships: there are the dolphins, whom Thou hast made to play therein.

These wait all upon Thee; that Thou mayst give them their food in due season.

Thou givest it to them; they gather it: Thou openest Thy hand, they are filled with good.

Thou hidest Thy face, they are troubled: Thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth Thy breath, they are created: and Thou renewest the face of the earth.

May the glory of the Lord endure forever: let the Lord rejoice in his works.

He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will rejoice in the Lord.

The sinners will be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked will be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Haleluya!
