Psalm 104

Psalm

A psalm written by David.

104 A psalm written by David

I tell myself, “Praise Yahweh!”

To everything that is within me, I say, “Praise him because he is holy!”

2 I tell myself, “Praise Yahweh,

and think about all of the kind things that he has done for me.”

3 He forgives all of my sins,

and he heals me from all of my sicknesses.

4 He rescues me from things that would kill me;

he blesses me by faithfully loving me and acting mercifully to me.

5 He gives me plenty of good things during my entire life.

He makes me feel young and strong as though I could fly high like an eagle.

6 It is Yahweh who does all this! He does what is right and judges justly for all those whom people have been treating unfairly.

7 Long ago he revealed to Moses the way that he works;

he showed to our ancestors, the people of Israel, the mighty things that he can do.

8 Yahweh acts mercifully and kindly;

he does not quickly get angry when we sin;

he always faithfully loves us.

9 He will not always rebuke us,

and he will not remain angry forever.

10 He does not punish us for our sins nearly as much as we deserve.

11 Indeed, as high as the sky is above the earth,

that is how much Yahweh faithfully loves everyone who reveres him.

12 He has taken away the guilt for our sins

and put it as far from us as the east is from the west.

13 Just as parents always love their children,

Yahweh always loves those who revere him.

14 Indeed, he certainly knows how weak we are;

he remembers that he created us from dust.

15 The lifetime of humans passes quickly, like that of grass.

We are like wild flowers that bloom for a short while,

16 but then the wind blows over them and they disappear,

and no one knows they were ever there.

17 But Yahweh will continue to faithfully love

all those who revere him, forever.

He will do what is right for generations of their children,

18 that is, he will act that way to all those who obey the covenant that he made with them.

Yes, he will act that way to all those who obey what he has commanded us to do.

19 Yahweh rules as king in heaven.

From there, he rules over everything.

20 Praise Yahweh, you angels who belong to Yahweh,

You powerful warriors who do what he tells you to do,

you who obey what he commands!

21 Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his angels,

you who serve him and do what he desires!

22 All of the creatures that Yahweh has created should praise him!

They should praise him in every place where he rules, which is everywhere!

I say to myself, “Praise Yahweh!”

Psalm

104 I tell myself, “Bless Yahweh!”

Yahweh, my God, you are magnificent!

You are more majestic than a king appearing in his beautiful robes!

2 You use light itself as your robe;

you spread out all of heaven as your tent.

3 The rain clouds are like the upper rooms of your palace.

The clouds are like chariots for you;

the wind is like a bird that takes you wherever you want to go.

4 You send the winds like your messengers,

and you control fire as your servant.

5 You created the world to be secure,

so that nothing can ever move it from its place.

6 Later, you covered the earth with a flood, like covering someone with clothing;

water even covered the mountains.

7 Then you commanded the water, and it receded;

yes, you spoke loudly,

and the water rushed away.

8 Part of the water ascended to its place above the mountains,

and part of it descended the valleys to its place in the earth.

All of it went back to the place that you had determined for it.

9 Then you set a boundary for the water that it cannot cross over.

That boundary ensures that the water will never again cover the whole earth.

10 You make the springs that pour water into the stream beds;

their water flows between the mountains.

11 Those streams provide water for all of his wild animals to drink.

The wild donkeys drink the water and are no longer thirsty.

12 Birds make their nests beside the streams.

They sing among the branches of the trees.

13 From the heavens you send rain down on the mountains.

As a result of doing this, you satisfy all of the creatures on earth with many good things.

14 You make grass to grow for the cattle to eat,

and you make plants to grow for people to cultivate,

so that they can make bread from those plants that grew in the soil.

15 You give us grapes that produce wine that makes us cheerful;

you give us olives that produce oil to make our faces shine,

and you give us grain to make bread that makes us strong.

16 Yahweh, you send plenty of rain to water

your cedar trees that you planted in Lebanon.

17 Birds make their nests in those trees,

and storks make their nests in the cypress trees.

18 High up in the mountains is where the wild goats live,

and hyraxes live in the rocky cliffs.

19 Yahweh, you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals,

and you made the sun to always go down at the right time.

20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night

when all of your forest animals prowl around.

21 The young lions roar then as they seek their prey,

looking for the food that you have provided for them.

22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.

23 That is when people go to their work;

and they do their work until it is evening.

24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things!

You were very wise as you made them all.

The earth is full of the creatures that you made.

25 We see the ocean, which is vastly wide between its shores!

It is full of many kinds of wriggling creatures,

so many that no one can count them.

There are creatures ranging from small to big.

26 Ships sail on the sea.

Leviathan is also there, the creature that you made to splash around in it.

27 All of these creatures depend on you

to give them the food that they need at the right time.

28 When you give them the food that they need,

then they gather it.

You give it to them freely.

They eat until they are full of your good things.

29 But when you refuse to give food to them,

they panic.

When you cause them to stop breathing, they die;

their bodies decay and become part of the soil.

30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe,

they begin to live.

You give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.

31 I want all of Yahweh's creatures to glorify him forever!

I want Yahweh to rejoice about everything that he has created!

32 He makes the earth shake just by looking at it!

When he merely touches the mountains they start to burn!

33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.

I will praise my God until the day that I die.

34 May Yahweh be pleased by all these things that I have thought about him.

As for me, I will rejoice because I know him.

35 However, I want sinners to disappear from the earth,

and for there to be no more wicked people!

I tell myself, “Bless Yahweh!”

Everyone, praise Yahweh!
