Psalm 104
New King James Version
Praise to the Sovereign Lord for His Creation and Providence(A)
104 Bless (B)the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great:
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
3 (C)He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
4 Who makes His angels spirits,
His [a]ministers a flame of fire.
5 You who [b]laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
6 You (D)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
7 At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
8 [c]They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
9 You have (E)set a boundary that they may not pass over,
(F)That they may not return to cover the earth.
10 He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
They sing among the branches.
13 (G)He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with (H)the fruit of Your works.
14 (I)He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the service of man,
That he may bring forth (J)food from the earth,
15 And (K)wine that makes glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face shine,
And bread which strengthens man’s heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high hills are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the (L)rock[d] badgers.
19 (M)He appointed the moon for seasons;
The (N)sun knows its going down.
20 (O)You make darkness, and it is night,
In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 (P)The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they gather together
And lie down in their dens.
23 Man goes out to (Q)his work
And to his labor until the evening.
24 (R)O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your (S)possessions—
25 This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
26 There the ships sail about;
There is that (T)Leviathan[e]
Which You have [f]made to play there.
27 (U)These all wait for You,
That You may give them their food in due season.
28 What You give them they gather in;
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
29 You hide Your face, they are troubled;
(V)You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 (W)You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
May the Lord (X)rejoice in His works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it (Y)trembles;
(Z)He touches the hills, and they smoke.
33 (AA)I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 May my (AB)meditation be sweet to Him;
I will be glad in the Lord.
35 May (AC)sinners be consumed from the earth,
And the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
[g]Praise the Lord!

詩篇 104
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
稱頌耶和華肇造萬物養育群生
104 我的心哪，你要稱頌耶和華！耶和華我的神啊，你為至大！你以尊榮威嚴為衣服，
2 披上亮光如披外袍；鋪張穹蒼如鋪幔子，
3 在水中立樓閣的棟梁；用雲彩為車輦，藉著風的翅膀而行；
4 以風為使者，以火焰為僕役。
5 將地立在根基上，使地永不動搖。
6 你用深水遮蓋地面，猶如衣裳，諸水高過山嶺。
7 你的斥責一發，水便奔逃；你的雷聲一發，水便奔流。
8 諸山升上，諸谷沉下[a]，歸你為它所安定之地。
9 你定了界限，使水不能過去，不再轉回遮蓋地面。
10 耶和華使泉源湧在山谷，流在山間，
11 使野地的走獸有水喝，野驢得解其渴。
12 天上的飛鳥在水旁住宿，在樹枝上啼叫。
13 他從樓閣中澆灌山嶺，因他作為的功效地就豐足。
14 他使草生長給六畜吃，使菜蔬發長供給人用，使人從地裡能得食物。
15 又得酒能悅人心，得油能潤人面，得糧能養人心。
16 佳美的樹木，就是黎巴嫩的香柏樹，是耶和華所栽種的，都滿了汁漿。
17 雀鳥在其上搭窩，至於鶴，松樹是牠的房屋。
18 高山為野山羊的住所，巖石為沙番的藏處。
19 你安置月亮為定節令，日頭自知沉落。
20 你造黑暗為夜，林中的百獸就都爬出來。
21 少壯獅子吼叫要抓食，向神尋求食物。
22 日頭一出，獸便躲避，臥在洞裡。
23 人出去做工，勞碌直到晚上。
24 耶和華啊，你所造的何其多！都是你用智慧造成的，遍地滿了你的豐富。
25 那裡有海，又大又廣，其中有無數的動物，大小活物都有。
26 那裡有船行走，有你所造的鱷魚游泳在其中。
27 這都仰望你按時給牠食物。
28 你給牠們，牠們便拾起來；你張手，牠們飽得美食。
29 你掩面，牠們便驚惶；你收回牠們的氣，牠們就死亡，歸於塵土。
30 你發出你的靈，牠們便受造；你使地面更換為新。
31 願耶和華的榮耀存到永遠，願耶和華喜悅自己所造的！
32 他看地，地便震動；他摸山，山就冒煙。
33 我要一生向耶和華唱詩，我還活的時候要向我神歌頌。
34 願他以我的默念為甘甜，我要因耶和華歡喜。
35 願罪人從世上消滅，願惡人歸於無有。我的心哪，要稱頌耶和華！你們要讚美耶和華！[b]
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!
