ASV_Strong : Psalms 104
1. Bless[H1288] Jehovah[H3068], O my soul[H5315]. O Jehovah[H3068] my God[H430], thou art very[H3966] great[H1431]; Thou art clothed[H3847] with honor[H1935] and majesty[H1926]:
2. Who coverest[H5844] thyself with light[H216] as with a garment[H8008]; Who stretchest out[H5186] the heavens[H8064] like a curtain[H3407];
3. Who layeth the beams[H7136] of his chambers[H5944] in the waters[H4325]; Who maketh[H7760] the clouds[H5645] his chariot[H7398]; Who walketh[H1980] upon the wings[H3671] of the wind[H7307];
4. Who maketh[H6213] winds[H7307] his messengers[H4397]; Flames[H3857] of fire[H784] his ministers[H8334];
5. Who laid[H3245] the foundations[H4349] of the earth[H776], That it should not be moved[H4131] for ever[H5769].
6. Thou coveredst[H3680] it with the deep[H8415] as with a vesture[H3830]; The waters[H4325] stood[H5975] above the mountains[H2022].
7. At[H4480] thy rebuke[H1606] they fled[H5127]; At the voice[H6963] of thy thunder[H7482] they hasted away[H2648]
8. (The mountains[H2022] rose[H5927], the valleys[H1237] sank down[H3381]) Unto the place[H4725] which[H2088] thou hadst founded for them[H3245].
9. Thou hast set[H7760] a bound[H1366] that they may not pass over[H5674]; That they turn not again[H7725] to cover[H3680] the earth[H776].
10. He sendeth[H7971] forth springs[H4599] into the valleys[H5158]; They run[H1980] among the mountains[H2022];
11. They give drink[H8248] to every beast[H2416] of the field[H7704]; The wild asses[H6501] quench[H7665] their thirst[H6772].
12. By them the birds[H5775] of the heavens[H8064] have their habitation[H7931]; They sing[H5414] among[H996] the branches[H6073].
13. He watereth[H8248] the mountains[H2022] from his chambers[H5944]: The earth[H776] is filled[H7646] with the fruit[H6529] of thy works[H4639].
14. He causeth the grass[H2682] to grow[H6779] for the cattle[H929], And herb[H6212] for the service[H5656] of man[H120]; That he may bring forth[H3318] food[H3899] out of the earth[H776],
15. And wine[H3196] that maketh glad[H8055] the heart[H3824] of man[H582], And oil[H8081] to make his face[H6440] to shine[H6670], And bread[H3899] that strengtheneth[H5582] man[H582]'s heart[H3824].
16. The trees[H6086] of Jehovah[H3068] are filled[H7646] with moisture[H730], The cedars of Lebanon[H3844], which he hath planted[H5193];
17. Where the birds[H6833] make their nests[H7077]: As for the stork[H2624], the fir-trees[H1265] are her house[H1004].
18. The high[H1364] mountains[H2022] are for the wild goats[H3277]; The rocks[H5553] are a refuge[H4268] for the conies[H8227].
19. He appointed[H6213] the moon[H3394] for seasons[H4150]: The sun[H8121] knoweth[H3045] his going down[H3996].
20. Thou makest[H7896] darkness[H2822], and it is night[H3915], Wherein all the beasts[H2416] of the forest[H3293] creep forth[H7430].
21. The young lions[H3715] roar[H7580] after their prey[H2964], And seek[H1245] their food[H400] from God[H410].
22. The sun[H8121] ariseth[H2224], they get them away[H622], And lay them down[H7257] in their dens[H4585].
23. Man[H120] goeth forth[H3318] unto his work[H6467] And to his labor[H5656] until the evening[H6153].
24. O Jehovah[H3068], how manifold[H7231] are thy works[H4639]! In wisdom[H2451] hast thou made[H6213] them all[H776]: The earth is full[H4390] of thy riches[H7075].
25. Yonder is the sea[H3220], great[H1419] and wide[H7342], Wherein are things creeping[H7431] innumerable[H4557], Both small[H6996] and great[H1419] beasts[H2416].
26. There go[H1980] the ships[H591]; There is leviathan[H3882], whom thou hast formed[H3335] to play therein[H7832].
27. These wait[H7663] all for thee[H5414], That thou mayest give them their food[H400] in due season[H6256].
28. Thou givest[H5414] unto them[H3950], they gather; Thou openest[H6605] thy hand[H3027], they are satisfied[H7646] with good[H2896].
29. Thou hidest[H5641] thy face[H6440], they are troubled[H926]; Thou takest away[H622] their breath[H7307], they die[H1478], And return[H7725] to their dust[H6083].
30. Thou sendest[H7971] forth thy Spirit[H7307], they are created[H1254]; And thou renewest[H2318] the face[H6440] of the ground[H127].
31. Let the glory[H3519] of Jehovah[H3068] endure for ever[H5769]; Let Jehovah[H3068] rejoice[H8055] in his works[H4639]:
32. Who looketh[H5027] on the earth[H776], and it trembleth[H7460]; He toucheth[H5060] the mountains[H2022], and they smoke[H6225].
33. I will sing[H7891] unto Jehovah[H3068] as long as I live[H2416]: I will sing[H2167] praise to my God[H430] while I have any being[H5750].
34. Let thy meditation[H7879] be sweet[H6149] unto him[H8055]: I will rejoice in Jehovah[H3068].
35. Let sinners[H2400] be consumed[H8552] out of the earth[H776]. And let the wicked[H7563] be no more[H1288]. Bless Jehovah[H3068], O my soul[H5315]. Praise[H1288] ye Jehovah[H3068].
