📖 Psalms 104
-
1
My soule, prayse thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glorie and honour.
-
2
Which couereth himselfe with light as with a garment, and spreadeth the heauens like a curtaine.
-
3
Which layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the cloudes his chariot, and walketh vpon the wings of the winde.
-
4
Which maketh his spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
-
5
He set the earth vpon her foundations, so that it shall neuer moue.
-
6
Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters woulde stand aboue the mountaines.
-
7
But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voyce of thy thunder they haste away.
-
8
And the mountaines ascend, and the valleis descend to the place which thou hast established for them.
-
9
But thou hast set them a bounde, which they shall not passe: they shall not returne to couer the earth.
-
10
He sendeth the springs into the valleis, which runne betweene the mountaines.
-
11
They shall giue drinke to all the beasts of the fielde, and the wilde asses shall quench their thirst.
-
12
By these springs shall the foules of the heauen dwell, and sing among the branches.
-
13
He watereth the mountaines from his chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
-
14
He causeth grasse to growe for the cattell, and herbe for the vse of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth,
-
15
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oyle to make the face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth mans heart.
-
16
The high trees are satisfied, euen the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
-
17
That ye birdes may make their nestes there: the storke dwelleth in the firre trees.
-
18
The high mountaines are for the goates: the rockes are a refuge for the conies.
-
19
He appoynted the moone for certaine seasons: the sunne knoweth his going downe.
-
20
Thou makest darkenesse, and it is night, wherein all the beastes of the forest creepe forth.
-
21
The lions roare after their praye, and seeke their meate at God.
-
22
When the sunne riseth, they retire, and couche in their dennes.
-
23
Then goeth man forth to his worke, and to his labour vntill the euening.
-
24
O Lord, howe manifolde are thy workes! in wisdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
-
25
So is this sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beastes and great.
-
26
There goe the shippes, yea, that Liuiathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
-
27
All these waite vpon thee, that thou maiest giue them foode in due season.
-
28
Thou giuest it to them, and they gather it: thou openest thine hand, and they are filled with good things.
-
29
But if thou hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they dye and returne to their dust.
-
30
Againe if thou send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renuest the face of the earth.
-
31
Glory be to the Lord for euer: let the Lord reioyce in his workes.
-
32
He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountaines, and they smoke.
-
33
I will sing vnto the Lord all my life: I will prayse my God, while I liue.
-
34
Let my wordes be acceptable vnto him: I will reioyce in the Lord.
-
35
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked till there be no more: O my soule, prayse thou the Lord. Prayse ye the Lord.
