Psalms 104
King James Version (KJV)
1 Ref Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2 Ref Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3 Ref Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4 Ref Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Ref Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6 Ref Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 Ref At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8 Ref They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9 Ref Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 Ref He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11 Ref They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 Ref By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13 Ref He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14 Ref He 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;
15 Ref 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 Ref The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17 Ref Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 Ref The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 Ref He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Ref Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21 Ref The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22 Ref The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Ref Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24 Ref O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 Ref So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 Ref There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27 Ref These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
28 Ref That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29 Ref Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Ref Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Ref The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 Ref He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33 Ref I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 Ref My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Ref 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.
