O Lord My God, You Are Very Great

104 (A)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
    O Lord my God, you are (B)very great!
(C)You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
    covering yourself with light as with a garment,
    (D)stretching out the heavens (E)like a tent.
He (F)lays the beams of his (G)chambers on the waters;
he makes (H)the clouds his chariot;
    he rides on (I)the wings of the wind;
he (J)makes his messengers winds,
    his (K)ministers (L)a flaming fire.

He (M)set the earth on its foundations,
    so that it should never be moved.
You (N)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
    the waters stood above the mountains.
At (O)your rebuke they fled;
    at (P)the sound of your thunder they (Q)took to flight.
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down
    to the place that you (R)appointed for them.
You set (S)a boundary that they may not pass,
    so that they (T)might not again cover the earth.

The Lord Answers Job

38 Then the Lord (A)answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

“Who is this that (B)darkens counsel by words (C)without knowledge?
(D)Dress for action[a] like a man;
    I will question you, and you make it known to me.

“Where were you when I (E)laid the foundation of the earth?
    Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
    Or who stretched the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk,
    or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars (F)sang together
    and all (G)the sons of God (H)shouted for joy?

34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
    that (A)a flood of waters may cover you?
35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
    and say to you, ‘Here we are’?
36 Who has (B)put wisdom in (C)the inward parts[a]
    or given understanding to the mind?[b]
37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
    Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
38 when the dust runs into a mass
    and (D)the clods stick fast together?

39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
    or (E)satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40 when they crouch in their (F)dens
    or lie in wait (G)in their thicket?
41 Who provides for (H)the raven its prey,
    when its young ones cry to God for help,
    and wander about for lack of food?

  1. Job 38:36 Or in the ibis
  2. Job 38:36 Or rooster

For every high priest chosen from among men (A)is appointed to act on behalf of men (B)in relation to God, (C)to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. (D)He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself (E)is beset with weakness. Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins (F)just as he does for those of the people. And (G)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (H)just as Aaron was.

So also Christ (I)did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

(J)“You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you”;

as he says also in another place,

(K)“You are a priest forever,
    after the order of Melchizedek.”

In the days of his flesh, (L)Jesus[a] offered up prayers and supplications, (M)with loud cries and tears, to him (N)who was able to save him from death, and (O)he was heard because of his reverence. Although (P)he was a son, (Q)he learned obedience through what he suffered. And (R)being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest (S)after the order of Melchizedek.
