1(104) [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you have clothed yourself with praise and honor:
1Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2who do robe yourself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3Who covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.
3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.
4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.
5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7At your rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of your thunder they shall be alarmed.
7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which you have founded for them.
8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9You have set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.
9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.
10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.
11They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.
12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13He waters the mountains from his chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of your works.
13He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;
14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.
15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
16The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.
16The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.
18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20You did make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:
20Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21[even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.
21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.
22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labor till evening.
23Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24How great are your works, O Lord! in wisdom have you wrought them all: the earth is filled with your creation.
24O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25[So is] this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great .
25So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26There go the ships; [and] this dragon whom you have made to play in it.
26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27All wait upon you, to give them [their] food in due season.
27These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
28When you have given [it] them, they will gather [it]; and when you have opened your hand, they shall all be filled with good.
28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29But when you have turned away your face, they shall be troubled: you will take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust.
29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30You shall send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created; and you shall renew the face of the earth.
30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31Let the glory of the Lord be for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works;
31The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
32who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.
33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34Let my meditation be sweet to him: and I will rejoice in the Lord.
34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.
35Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
35Let 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.
