LORD my God, you are very great;

you are clothed with majesty and splendor.

He wraps himself in light as if it were a robe,

spreading out the sky like a canopy,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 104:3 -

laying the beams of his palace

on the waters above,

making the clouds his chariot,

walking on the wings of the wind,

and making the winds his messengers,[fn]

flames of fire his servants.

making his face shine with oil —

and bread that sustains human hearts.

they gather it;

when you open your hand,

they are satisfied with good things.

When you hide your face,

they are terrified;

when you take away their breath,

they die and return to the dust.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 104:30 -

they are created,

and you renew the surface of the ground.

and wicked people be no more.

My soul, bless the LORD!

Hallelujah!
