The Psalms
capítulo 104
verso 1
Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
verso 2
He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
verso 3
He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
verso 4
He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire.
verso 5
He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
verso 6
You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
verso 7
At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
verso 8
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
verso 9
You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
verso 10
He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
verso 11
They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
verso 12
The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
verso 13
He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
verso 14
He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:
verso 15
wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
verso 16
Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
verso 17
where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
verso 18
The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
verso 19
He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
verso 20
You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
verso 21
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
verso 22
The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
verso 23
Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.
verso 24
Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
verso 25
There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
verso 26
There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
verso 27
These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
verso 28
You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
verso 29
You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.
verso 30
You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
verso 31
Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
verso 32
He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
verso 33
I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
verso 34
Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
verso 35
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
