(KJV) Psalm 104¹

⥃How Many Are Your Works, O LORD!

[1] Bless² the Lord, O my soul. O Lord³ my God, thou art very great⁴; thou art clothed⁵ with honour⁶ and majesty. [2] Who coverest [thyself] with light⁷ as [with] a garment: who stretchest⁸ out the heavens like a curtain: [3] Who layeth⁹ the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh¹⁰ the clouds his chariot: who walketh¹¹ upon the wings of the wind: [4] Who maketh¹² his angels spirits; his ministers¹³ a flaming fire: [5] [Who] laid the foundations of the earth¹⁴, [that] it¹⁵ should not be removed for ever. [6] Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.¹⁶ [7] At thy¹⁷ rebuke they fled¹⁸; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. [8] They go up¹⁹ by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. [9] Thou hast set²⁰ a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. [10] He sendeth²¹ the springs into the valleys, [which] run²² among the hills. [11] They give²³ drink to every beast of the field: the wild²⁴ asses quench²⁵ their thirst. [12] By them shall the fowls²⁶ of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing²⁷ among the branches. [13] He watereth²⁸ the hills from his chambers²⁹: the earth³⁰ is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. [14] He causeth³¹ the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb³² for the service of man: that he³³ may bring forth food out of the earth; [15] And wine³⁴ [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his³⁵] face to shine, and bread³⁶ [which] strengtheneth man’s heart. [16] The trees of the Lord are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;³⁷ [17] Where the birds³⁸ make their nests: [as for³⁹] the stork⁴⁰, the fir trees [are] her house. [18] The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats⁴¹; [and] the rocks for the conies⁴². [19] He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.⁴³ [20] Thou makest⁴⁴ darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth⁴⁵]. [21] The young⁴⁶ lions roar after their prey, and seek⁴⁷ their meat from God. [22] The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.⁴⁸ [23] Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.⁴⁹ [24] O Lord, how⁵⁰ manifold are thy works! in wisdom⁵¹ hast thou made them all: the earth⁵² is full of thy riches. [25] [So is] this great⁵³ and wide sea, wherein [are] things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts⁵⁴. [26] There go⁵⁵ the ships: [there is] that leviathan⁵⁶, [whom] thou hast made⁵⁷ to play⁵⁸ therein. [27] These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their meat in due season.⁵⁹ [28] [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. [29] Thou hidest⁶⁰ thy face, they are troubled: thou takest⁶¹ away their breath, they die, and return⁶² to their dust. [30] Thou sendest⁶³ forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest⁶⁴ the face of the earth. [31] The glory⁶⁵ of the Lord shall endure⁶⁶ for ever: the Lord shall rejoice⁶⁷ in his works. [32] He looketh⁶⁸ on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth⁶⁹ the hills, and they smoke. [33] I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.⁷⁰ [34] My meditation⁷¹ of him shall be sweet: I will be⁷² glad in the Lord. [35] Let the sinners⁷³ be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless⁷⁴ thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.
