The Book of Psalms 104

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!
