NASB Bible

Psalms 104

The LORD'S Care over All His Works.

1

 aBless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are  bclothed with splendor and majesty,

2

Covering Yourself with  alight as with a cloak,  bStretching out heaven like a tent curtain.

3

 1He  alays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;  1He makes the  bclouds His chariot;  1He walks upon the  cwings of the wind;

4

 1He makes  2 athe winds His messengers,  3Flaming  bfire His ministers.

5

He  aestablished the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not  1totter forever and ever.

6

You  acovered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains.

7

At Your  arebuke they fled, At the  bsound of Your thunder they hurried away.

8

The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the  aplace which You established for them.

9

You set a  aboundary that they may not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

10

 1He sends forth  asprings in the valleys; They flow between the mountains;

11

They  agive drink to every beast of the field; The  bwild donkeys quench their thirst.

12

 1Beside them the birds of the heavens  adwell; They  2lift up their voices among the branches.

13

 1He  awaters the mountains from His upper chambers;  bThe earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

14

 1He causes the  agrass to grow for the  2cattle, And  bvegetation for the  3labor of man, So that  4he may bring forth  5food  cfrom the earth,

15

And  awine which makes man's heart glad,  bSo that he may make his face glisten with oil, And  1food which  csustains man's heart.

16

The trees of the LORD  1drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,

17

Where the  abirds build their nests, And the  bstork, whose home is the  1fir trees.

18

The high mountains are for the  awild goats; The  bcliffs are a refuge for the  1 cshephanim.

19

He made the moon  afor the seasons; The  bsun knows the place of its setting.

20

You  aappoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the  bbeasts of the forest  1prowl about.

21

The  ayoung lions roar after their prey  1And  bseek their food from God.

22

When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their  adens.

23

Man goes forth to  ahis work And to his labor until evening.

24

O LORD, how  amany are Your works!  1In  bwisdom You have made them all; The  cearth is full of Your  2possessions.

25

 1There is the  asea, great and  2broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great.

26

There the  aships move along, And  1 bLeviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

27

They all  await for You To  bgive them their food in  1due season.

28

You give to them, they gather it up; You  aopen Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

29

You  ahide Your face, they are dismayed; You  btake away their  1spirit, they expire And  creturn to their dust.

30

You send forth Your  1 aSpirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground.

31

Let the  aglory of the LORD endure forever; Let the LORD  bbe glad in His works;

32

 1He  alooks at the earth, and it  btrembles; He  ctouches the mountains, and they smoke.

33

 1I will sing to the LORD  2 aas long as I live;  1I will  bsing praise to my God  3while I have my being.

34

Let my  ameditation be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall  bbe glad in the LORD.

35

Let sinners be  aconsumed from the earth And let the  bwicked be no more.  cBless the LORD, O my soul.  1 dPraise  2the LORD!
