Psalms 104:16-35
Psalms 104:16-35 AMP
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. ¶They all wait for You To give them their food in its appointed season. You give it to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are filled and satisfied with good [things]. You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die And return to their dust. You send out Your Spirit, they are created; You renew the face of the ground. ¶May the glory of the LORD endure forever; May the LORD rejoice and be glad in His works— He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. May my meditation be sweet and pleasing to Him; As for me, I will rejoice and be glad in the LORD. Let sinners be consumed from the earth, And let the wicked be no more. Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
