Psalm 104:1-12

English Standard Version Anglicised

104 ^(A)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
    O Lord my God, you are ^(B)very great!
^(C)You are clothed with splendour and majesty,
²     covering yourself with light as with a garment,
    ^(D)stretching out the heavens ^(E)like a tent.
³ 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;
⁴ he ^(J)makes his messengers winds,
    his ^(K)ministers ^(L)a flaming fire.
⁵ He ^(M)set the earth on its foundations,
    so that it should never be moved.
⁶ You ^(N)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
    the waters stood above the mountains.
⁷ At ^(O)your rebuke they fled;
    at ^(P)the sound of your thunder they ^(Q)took to flight.
⁸ The mountains rose, the valleys sank down
    to the place that you ^(R)appointed for them.
⁹ You set ^(S)a boundary that they may not pass,
    so that they ^(T)might not again cover the earth.
¹⁰ You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
    they flow between the hills;
¹¹ they ^(U)give drink to every beast of the field;
    the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
¹² Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
    they sing among the branches.
