Psalm 104
New International Version
Psalm 104
1 Praise the Lord, my soul.(A)
Lord my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.(B)
2 The Lord wraps(C) himself in light(D) as with a garment;
he stretches(E) out the heavens(F) like a tent(G)
3 and lays the beams(H) of his upper chambers on their waters.(I)
He makes the clouds(J) his chariot(K)
and rides on the wings of the wind.(L)
4 He makes winds his messengers,[a](M)
flames of fire(N) his servants.
5 He set the earth(O) on its foundations;(P)
it can never be moved.
6 You covered it(Q) with the watery depths(R) as with a garment;
the waters stood(S) above the mountains.
7 But at your rebuke(T) the waters fled,
at the sound of your thunder(U) they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains,
they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned(V) for them.
9 You set a boundary(W) they cannot cross;
never again will they cover the earth.
10 He makes springs(X) pour water into the ravines;
it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water(Y) to all the beasts of the field;
the wild donkeys(Z) quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky(AA) nest by the waters;
they sing among the branches.(AB)
13 He waters the mountains(AC) from his upper chambers;(AD)
the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.(AE)
14 He makes grass grow(AF) for the cattle,
and plants for people to cultivate—
bringing forth food(AG) from the earth:
15 wine(AH) that gladdens human hearts,
oil(AI) to make their faces shine,
and bread that sustains(AJ) their hearts.
16 The trees of the Lord(AK) are well watered,
the cedars of Lebanon(AL) that he planted.
17 There the birds(AM) make their nests;
the stork has its home in the junipers.
18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;(AN)
the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.(AO)
19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,(AP)
and the sun(AQ) knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness,(AR) it becomes night,(AS)
and all the beasts of the forest(AT) prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey(AU)
and seek their food from God.(AV)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.(AW)
23 Then people go out to their work,(AX)
to their labor until evening.(AY)
24 How many are your works,(AZ) Lord!
In wisdom you made(BA) them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.(BB)
25 There is the sea,(BC) vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.(BD)
26 There the ships(BE) go to and fro,
and Leviathan,(BF) which you formed to frolic(BG) there.(BH)
27 All creatures look to you
to give them their food(BI) at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied(BJ) with good things.
29 When you hide your face,(BK)
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.(BL)
30 When you send your Spirit,(BM)
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord(BN) endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works(BO)—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,(BP)
who touches the mountains,(BQ) and they smoke.(BR)
33 I will sing(BS) 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(BT) in the Lord.
35 But may sinners vanish(BU) from the earth
and the wicked be no more.(BV)
Praise the Lord, my soul.

Salmos 104
La Biblia de las Américas
Dios cuida de sus obras
104 Bendice, alma mía, al Señor(A).
Señor, Dios mío, cuán grande eres;
te has vestido de esplendor y de majestad(B),
2 cubriéndote de luz como con un manto(C),
extendiendo los cielos como una cortina(D).
3 Él es el que pone las vigas de sus altos aposentos en las aguas(E);
el que hace de las nubes su carroza(F);
el que anda sobre las alas del viento(G);
4 que hace de los vientos sus mensajeros[a](H),
y de las llamas de fuego sus ministros[b](I).
5 Él estableció la tierra(J) sobre sus cimientos,
para que jamás sea sacudida[c].
6 La cubriste(K) con el abismo como con un vestido;
las aguas estaban sobre los montes.
7 A tu reprensión huyeron(L);
al sonido de tu trueno(M) se precipitaron.
8 Se levantaron los montes, se hundieron los valles,
al lugar que tú estableciste(N) para ellos.
9 Pusiste un límite que no pueden cruzar(O),
para que no vuelvan a cubrir la tierra.
10 Él hace brotar[d] manantiales en los valles(P),
corren entre los montes;
11 dan de beber a todas las bestias(Q) del campo,
los asnos monteses mitigan su sed(R).
12 Junto a[e] ellos habitan las aves de los cielos(S),
elevan[f] sus trinos entre las ramas.
13 Él[g] riega los montes desde sus aposentos[h](T),
del fruto de sus obras se sacia la tierra.
14 Él[i] hace brotar la hierba(U) para el ganado[j],
y las plantas(V) para el servicio del[k] hombre,
para que él[l] saque alimento[m] de la tierra(W),
15 y vino(X) que alegra el corazón del hombre,
para que haga brillar con aceite su rostro(Y),
y alimento[n] que fortalece el corazón del hombre(Z).
16 Los árboles del Señor se sacian,
los cedros del Líbano que Él plantó,
17 donde hacen sus nidos las aves(AA),
y la cigüeña(AB), cuya morada está en[o] los cipreses.
18 Los montes altos son para las cabras monteses(AC);
las peñas(AD) son refugio para los tejones(AE).
19 Él hizo la luna para medir las estaciones(AF);
el sol(AG) conoce el lugar de su ocaso.
20 Tú ordenas la oscuridad y se hace de noche(AH),
en ella andan[p] todas las bestias del bosque(AI).
21 Rugen los leoncillos(AJ) tras su presa,
y buscan[q] de Dios su comida(AK).
22 Al salir el sol se esconden,
y se echan en sus guaridas(AL).
23 Sale el hombre a su trabajo(AM),
y a su labor hasta el atardecer.
24 ¡Cuán numerosas son tus obras, oh Señor(AN)!
Con sabiduría(AO) las has hecho todas;
llena está la tierra(AP) de tus posesiones[r].
25 He allí[s] el mar(AQ), grande y anchuroso[t],
en el cual hay un hervidero innumerable
de animales tanto pequeños como grandes.
26 Allí surcan las naves(AR),
y el[u] Leviatán[v](AS) que hiciste para jugar en él.
27 Todos ellos esperan en ti(AT),
para que les des su comida(AU) a su tiempo.
28 Tú les das, ellos recogen;
abres tu mano(AV), se sacian de bienes.
29 Escondes tu rostro(AW), se turban;
les quitas el aliento[w](AX), expiran,
y vuelven al[x] polvo(AY).
30 Envías tu Espíritu[y](AZ), son creados,
y renuevas la faz de la tierra.
31 ¡Sea para siempre la gloria del Señor(BA)!
¡Alégrese el Señor en sus obras(BB)!
32 Él[z] mira a la tierra, y ella tiembla(BC);
toca los montes, y humean(BD).
33 Al Señor cantaré[aa] mientras yo viva[ab](BE);
cantaré alabanzas a mi Dios(BF) mientras yo exista.
34 Séale agradable mi meditación(BG);
yo me alegraré en el Señor(BH).
35 Sean consumidos de la tierra los pecadores(BI),
y los impíos dejen de ser(BJ).
Bendice, alma mía, al Señor(BK).
¡Aleluya[ac](BL)!

English Standard Version
Psalm 104
English Standard Version
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,
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.
13 (V)From your lofty abode you (W)water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
14 You cause (X)the grass to grow for the livestock
and (Y)plants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth (Z)food from the earth
15 and (AA)wine to gladden the heart of man,
(AB)oil to make his face shine
and bread to (AC)strengthen man's heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
(AD)the cedars of Lebanon (AE)that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for (AF)the wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for (AG)the rock badgers.
19 He made the moon to mark the (AH)seasons;[a]
the sun knows its time for setting.
20 (AI)You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 (AJ)The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they steal away
and lie down in their (AK)dens.
23 (AL)Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until the evening.
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In (AM)wisdom have you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Here is the sea, great and wide,
(AN)which teems with creatures innumerable,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and (AO)Leviathan, which you formed to (AP)play in it.[b]
27 These (AQ)all look to you,
to (AR)give them their food in due season.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you (AS)open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you (AT)hide your face, they are (AU)dismayed;
when you (AV)take away their breath, they die
and (AW)return to their dust.
30 When you (AX)send forth your Spirit,[c] they are created,
and you (AY)renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord (AZ)endure forever;
may the Lord (BA)rejoice in his works,
32 who looks on the earth and it (BB)trembles,
who (BC)touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 I will sing to the Lord (BD)as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my (BE)meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let (BF)sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more!
(BG)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
(BH)Praise the Lord!
