Psalm 104:2-35
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 wrapped in light as with a garment.
You stretch out the heavens like a tent;(A)
3 you set the beams of your[a] chambers on the waters;
you make the clouds your[b] chariot;
you ride on the wings of the wind;(B)
4 you make the winds your[c] messengers,
fire and flame your[d] ministers.(C)
5 You set the earth on its foundations,
so that it shall never be shaken.(D)
6 You cover it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.(E)
7 At your rebuke they flee;
at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.
8 They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys,
to the place that you appointed for them.(F)
9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they might not again cover the earth.(G)
10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills,(H)
11 giving drink to every wild animal;
the wild asses quench their thirst.(I)
12 By the streams[e] the birds of the air have their habitation;
they sing among the branches.(J)
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.(K)
14 You cause the grass to grow for the cattle
and plants for people to cultivate,
to bring forth food from the earth(L)
15 and wine to gladden the human heart,
oil to make the face shine
and bread to strengthen the human heart.(M)
16 The trees of the field[f] are watered abundantly,
the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has its home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for the coneys.(N)
19 You have made the moon to mark the seasons;
the sun knows its time for setting.(O)
20 You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the animals of the forest come creeping out.(P)
21 The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.(Q)
22 When the sun rises, they withdraw
and lie down in their dens.
23 People go out to their work
and to their labor until the evening.(R)
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.(S)
25 There is the sea, great and wide;
creeping things innumerable are there,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships
and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.(T)
27 These all look to you
to give them their food in due season;(U)
28 when you give to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to their dust.(V)
30 When you send forth your spirit,[g] they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.(W)
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—(X)
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke.(Y)
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.(Z)
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord!(AA)
Psalm 104:2-35
New International Version
Psalm 104:2-35
New International Version
2 The Lord wraps(A) himself in light(B) as with a garment;
he stretches(C) out the heavens(D) like a tent(E)
3 and lays the beams(F) of his upper chambers on their waters.(G)
He makes the clouds(H) his chariot(I)
and rides on the wings of the wind.(J)
4 He makes winds his messengers,[a](K)
flames of fire(L) his servants.
5 He set the earth(M) on its foundations;(N)
it can never be moved.
6 You covered it(O) with the watery depths(P) as with a garment;
the waters stood(Q) above the mountains.
7 But at your rebuke(R) the waters fled,
at the sound of your thunder(S) they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains,
they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned(T) for them.
9 You set a boundary(U) they cannot cross;
never again will they cover the earth.
10 He makes springs(V) pour water into the ravines;
it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water(W) to all the beasts of the field;
the wild donkeys(X) quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky(Y) nest by the waters;
they sing among the branches.(Z)
13 He waters the mountains(AA) from his upper chambers;(AB)
the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.(AC)
14 He makes grass grow(AD) for the cattle,
and plants for people to cultivate—
bringing forth food(AE) from the earth:
15 wine(AF) that gladdens human hearts,
oil(AG) to make their faces shine,
and bread that sustains(AH) their hearts.
16 The trees of the Lord(AI) are well watered,
the cedars of Lebanon(AJ) that he planted.
17 There the birds(AK) make their nests;
the stork has its home in the junipers.
18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;(AL)
the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.(AM)
19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,(AN)
and the sun(AO) knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness,(AP) it becomes night,(AQ)
and all the beasts of the forest(AR) prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey(AS)
and seek their food from God.(AT)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.(AU)
23 Then people go out to their work,(AV)
to their labor until evening.(AW)
24 How many are your works,(AX) Lord!
In wisdom you made(AY) them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.(AZ)
25 There is the sea,(BA) vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.(BB)
26 There the ships(BC) go to and fro,
and Leviathan,(BD) which you formed to frolic(BE) there.(BF)
27 All creatures look to you
to give them their food(BG) at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied(BH) with good things.
29 When you hide your face,(BI)
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.(BJ)
30 When you send your Spirit,(BK)
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord(BL) endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works(BM)—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,(BN)
who touches the mountains,(BO) and they smoke.(BP)
33 I will sing(BQ) to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice(BR) in the Lord.
35 But may sinners vanish(BS) from the earth
and the wicked be no more.(BT)
Praise the Lord, my soul.
