PSALM 104

The Glory of Yahweh Endures Forever

1 Bless ^H1288 Yahweh ^H3068, O my soul ^H5315!

O Yahweh ^H3068 my God ^H430, You are ^H1431 very ^H3966 great ^H1431;

You are clothed ^H3847 with splendor ^H1935 and majesty ^H1926,

2 Wrapping ^H5844 Yourself with light ^H216 as with a cloak ^H8008,

Stretching ^H5186 out ^H5186 the heavens ^H8064 like a tent curtain ^H3407.

3 [fn]He lays ^H7136 the beams ^H7136 of His upper ^H5944 chambers ^H5944 in the waters ^H4325;

[fn]He sets ^H7760 up ^H7760 the clouds ^H5645 to be His chariot ^H7398;

[fn]He walks ^H1980 upon the wings ^H3671 of the wind ^H7307;

4 [fn]He makes ^H6213 His [fn]angels ^H4397 the winds ^H7307,

His ministers ^H8334 flaming ^H3857 fire ^H784.

5 He founded ^H3245 the earth ^H776 upon its place ^H4349,

So that it will not [fn]shake ^H4131 forever ^H5769 and ever ^H5703.

6 You covered ^H3680 it with the deep ^H8415 as with a garment ^H3830;

The waters ^H4325 were standing ^H5975 above ^H5921 the mountains ^H2022.

7 At Your rebuke ^H1606 they fled ^H5127,

At the sound ^H6963 of Your thunder ^H7482 they hurried ^H2648 away ^H2648 in alarm ^H2648.

8 The mountains ^H2022 went up ^H5927; the valleys ^H1237 went ^H3381 down ^H3381

To the place ^H4725 which ^H2088 You founded ^H3245 for them.

9 You set ^H7760 a boundary ^H1366 that they may not pass ^H5674 over ^H5674,

So that they will not return ^H7725 to cover ^H3680 the earth ^H776.

10 [fn]He sends ^H7971 forth springs ^H4599 in the valleys ^H5158;

They flow ^H1980 between ^H996 the mountains ^H2022;

11 They give ^H8248 water ^H8248 to every ^H3605 beast ^H2416 of the field ^H7704;

The wild ^H6501 donkeys ^H6501 quench ^H7665 their thirst ^H6772.

12 Above ^H5921 them the birds ^H5775 of the heavens ^H8064 dwell ^H7931;

They give ^H5414 forth their voices ^H6963 among ^H4480 H996 the branches ^H6073.

13 [fn]He gives ^H8248 water ^H8248 to the mountains ^H2022 from His upper ^H5944 chambers ^H5944;

The earth ^H776 is ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with the fruit ^H6529 of His works ^H4639.

14 [fn]He causes the grass ^H2682 to grow ^H6779 for the [fn]cattle ^H929,

And vegetation ^H6212 for man’s ^H120 [fn]cultivation ^H5656,

To bring ^H3318 forth ^H3318 [fn]food ^H3899 from the earth ^H776,

15 And wine ^H3196 which makes ^H8055 man’s ^H582 heart ^H3824 glad ^H8055,

To make his face ^H6440 glisten ^H6670 more than oil ^H8081,

And [fn]food ^H3899 which sustains ^H5582 man’s ^H582 heart ^H3824.

16 The trees ^H6086 of Yahweh ^H3068 are ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646,

The cedars ^H730 of Lebanon ^H3844 which ^H834 He planted ^H5193,

17 Where ^H834 H8033 the birds ^H6833 build ^H7077 their nests ^H7077,

The stork’s ^H2624 home ^H1004 is in the [fn]fir ^H1265 trees ^H1265.

18 The high ^H1364 mountains ^H2022 are for the wild ^H3277 goats ^H3277;

The cliffs ^H5553 are a refuge ^H4268 for the [fn]shephanim ^H8227.

19 He made ^H6213 the moon ^H3394 for the seasons ^H4150;

The sun ^H8121 knows ^H3045 the place ^H3996 of ^H3996 its setting ^H3996.

20 You appoint ^H7896 darkness ^H2822 so that it becomes ^H1961 night ^H3915,

In which all ^H3605 the beasts ^H2416 of the forest ^H3293 creep ^H7430 about ^H7430.

21 The young ^H3715 lions ^H3715 roar ^H7580 to go after their prey ^H2964

And to seek ^H1245 their food ^H400 from God ^H410.

22 When the sun ^H8121 rises ^H2224 they gather ^H622 together ^H622

And lie ^H7257 down ^H7257 in their dens ^H4585.

23 Man ^H120 goes ^H3318 forth ^H3318 to his work ^H6467

And to his labor ^H5656 until ^H5704 evening ^H6153.

24 How ^H4100 numerous ^H7231 are ^H7231 Your works ^H4639, O Yahweh ^H3068!

[fn]In wisdom ^H2451 You have made ^H6213 them all ^H3605;

The earth ^H776 is full ^H4390 of Your [fn]possessions ^H7075.

25 This ^H2088 is the sea ^H3220, great ^H1419 and [fn]broad ^H7342,

There ^H8033 the creeping ^H7431 things ^H7431 are without ^H369 number ^H4557,

Creatures ^H2416 both small ^H6996 and great ^H1419.

26 There ^H8033 the ships ^H591 move ^H1980 along,

And [fn]Leviathan ^H3882, which ^H2088 You have formed ^H3336 to play ^H7832 in it.

27 They all ^H3605 wait ^H7663 for You

To give ^H5414 them their food ^H400 in [fn]due season ^H6256.

28 You give ^H5414 to them, they gather ^H3950 it up ^H3950;

You open ^H6605 Your hand ^H3027, they are ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with good ^H2896.

29 You hide ^H5641 Your face ^H6440, they are dismayed ^H926;

You take ^H622 away ^H622 their [fn]spirit ^H7307, they breathe ^H1478 their last ^H1478

And return ^H7725 to their dust ^H6083.

30 You send ^H7971 forth Your [fn]Spirit ^H7307, they are created ^H1254;

And You renew ^H2318 the face ^H6440 of the ground ^H127.

31 Let the glory ^H3519 of Yahweh ^H3068 endure ^H1961 forever ^H5769;

Let Yahweh ^H3068 be glad ^H8055 in His works ^H4639;

32 [fn]He looks ^H5027 at the earth ^H776, and it trembles ^H7460;

He touches ^H5060 the mountains ^H2022, and they smoke ^H6225.

33 [fn]I will sing ^H2167 to Yahweh ^H3068 throughout my life ^H2416;

[fn]I will sing ^H2167 praise ^H2167 to my God ^H430 [fn]while ^H5750 I have my being.

34 Let my musing ^H7879 be pleasing ^H6149 to Him;

As for me, I shall be glad ^H8055 in Yahweh ^H3068.

35 Let sinners ^H2400 be consumed ^H8552 from the earth ^H776

And let the wicked ^H7563 be no ^H369 more ^H5750.

Bless ^H1288 Yahweh ^H3068, O my soul ^H5315.

[fn]Praise ^H1984 Yah ^H3050!
