Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty (104:1)

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain (104:2)

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind (104:3)

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire (104:4)

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever (104:5)

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains (104:6)

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away (104:7)

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them (104:8)

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth (104:9)

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills (104:10)

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst (104:11)

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches (104:12)

He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works (104:13)

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth (104:14)

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart (104:15)

The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted (104:16)

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house (104:17)

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies (104:18)

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down (104:19)

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth (104:20)

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God (104:21)

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens (104:22)

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening (104:23)

O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches (104:24)

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts (104:25)

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein (104:26)

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season (104:27)

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good (104:28)

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust (104:29)

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth (104:30)

The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works (104:31)

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke (104:32)

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being (104:33)

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord (104:34)

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord (104:35)
