Psalm 104

 PSALMS 104


1Bless the Lord O my soul, Yahh, my god, you have been very great. Splendor and beauty you garbed.
  2Draping light like the robe, pitching sky like the tenting.
    3Who lays his attic beams in the water,
         Who makes clouds his vehicle, Who strides on wings of  wind,
             4Making winds his messengers, flaming fire his assistants.
5He founded earth on its base that it never ever slip.
   6With the deep as the garment, he covered it, water stands on hills–
       7It flees from your rebuke, hastens from the sound of your thunder
    8Up hills, down valleys to the place which you have founded for it.
         9You set a boundary not to pass, not to return to cover the earth.
10Who sends springs into the streams running between the hills
     11So that they water all field animals. Wild asses break their thirst.
        12By them dwell birds of the sky, giving voice between leaves.
13He waters hills from his attics. The land is sated with fruit of your actions.
    14He sprouts wild grass for the beast and
           cereal grass for human labor to bring forth bread from the earth,
    15And wine which cheers a person,
           oil to shine the face.
        bread that sustains a person.
16Yahh’s trees are sated, cedars of L’vanon that he planted,
    17Where birds nest, a stork her home at their top.
         18High hills for the goats, rocks, refuge for rabbits.
19He made moon for seasons, sun that knew its setting.
    20You bring on dark and night happens, when all the life of the forest moves about.
         21The lions roar for prey and to seek their food from God.
    22The sun shines–they gather and recline at their den.
          23A human goes to its activity and to its work till eve.
24How manifold are thy works, O Lord! In wisdom hast thou made them all. The earth is full of thy riches.
25This, the sea, great and broad, there, swimming creatures, innumerable, animals small and large.
     26There go ships;    livyatan that you formed to play with.
27All of them expect from you, to give their food in its time.
    28You give to them, they collect. You open your hand, well sated are they.
        9You hide your face, they are disturbed.
    You gather their breath, they die and return to their dust.
    30You send your breath, they are well and you renew the face of the ground
31Forever be the glory of Yahh–let Yahh rejoice in his works–
     32Who glances at the earth and it trembles; touches the mountains and they smoke.
33I shall sing to Yahh in my life, I shall chant to my god while I exist.
34Be my musing sweet to him, I am happy with Yahh.
      35Be finished, sins from the earth and wicked be no more.
    Bless the Lord O my soul. Halleluyah!
