Psalmes 104

P S A L. CIV.

1 A meditation vpon the mighty power, 7 and wonderfull prouidence of God. 31 Gods glory is eternall. 33 The Prophet voweth perpetually to praise God.

CIV ¶ Blesse the LORD, O my soule, O LORD my God, thou art very great: thou art clothed with honour and maiestie. 2 Who couerest thy selfe with light, as with a garment: who stretchest out the heauens like a curtaine. 3 Who layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, who maketh the cloudes his charet: who walketh vpon the wings of the wind. 4 [ref]Who maketh his Angels spirits: his ministers a flaming fire. 5 [fn]Who laid the foundations of the earth: that it should not be remoued for euer. 6 Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters stood aboue the mountaines. 7 At thy rebuke they fled: at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8 [fn]They go vp by the mountaines: they goe downe by the valleys vnto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not passe ouer: that they turne not againe to couer the earth. 10 [fn][fn]He sendeth the springs into the valleys: which runne among the hilles. 11 [fn]They giue drinke to euery beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 [fn]By them shall the foules of the heauen haue their habitation: which sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hilles from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy workes. 14 [ref]He causeth the grasse to grow for the cattell, and herbe for the seruice of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth: 15 [fn]And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oile to make his face to shine: and bread which strengtheneth mans heart. 16 The trees of the LORD are full of sappe: the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted. 17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the Storke, the firre trees are her house. 18 The hie hilles are a refuge for the wilde goates: and the rockes for the conies. 19 He appointed the moone for seasons; the sunne knoweth his going downe. 20 [fn]Thou makest darknesse, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forrest doe creepe forth. 21 The young lyons roare after their pray: and seeke their meate from God. 22 The sunne ariseth, they gather themselues together: and lay them downe in their dennes. 23 Man goeth forth vnto his worke: and to his labour, vntill the euening. 24 O LORD, how manifold are thy workes! in wisedome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 25 So is this great and wide Sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable: both small and great beasts. 26 [fn]There goe the shippes; there is that Leuiathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27 [ref]These waite all vpon thee: that thou mayest giue them their meate in due season. 28 That thou giuest them, they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled, thou takest away their breath, they die: and returne to their dust. 30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 31 [fn]The glory of the LORD shall endure for euer: the LORD shall reioyce in his workes. 32 Hee looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the hilles, and they smoke. 33 I will sing vnto the LORD as long as I liue: I will sing praise to my God, while I haue my being. 34 My meditation of him shalbe sweete: I will be glad in the LORD. 35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked bee no more: blesse thou the LORD, O my soule. Praise yee the LORD.
