Psalms 104:1, 10-26

Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty

¶You send springs into the valleys; Their waters flow among the mountains. They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst there. Beside them the birds of the heavens have their nests; They lift up their voices and sing among the branches. [Matt 13:32] He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works. ¶He causes grass to grow for the cattle, And all that the earth produces for cultivation by man, So that he may bring food from the earth— And wine which makes the heart of man glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And bread to sustain and strengthen man’s heart. The trees of the LORD drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He has planted, Where the birds make their nests; As for the stork, the fir trees are her house. ¶The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the shephanim. He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the [exact] place of its setting. You [O LORD] make darkness and it becomes night, In which prowls about every wild beast of the forest. The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God. When the sun arises, they withdraw And lie down in their dens. Man goes out to his work And remains at his labor until evening. ¶O LORD, how many and varied are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your riches and Your creatures. There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Creatures both small and great. There the ships [of the sea] sail, And Leviathan [the sea monster], which You have formed to play there.
