Psalms 104 : 4 - 138 : 1 - 2
| 4 | Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire. |
| 5 | You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever, |
| 6 | You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains. |
| 7 | At Your rebuke they fled; At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away. |
| 8 | They went up over the mountains; They went down into the valleys, To the place which You founded for them. |
| 9 | You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth. |
| 10 | He sends the springs into the valleys; They flow among the hills. |
| 11 | They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. |
| 12 | By them the birds of the heavens have their home; They sing among the branches. |
| 13 | He waters the hills from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. |
| 14 | He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man, That he may bring forth food from the earth, |
| 15 | And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And bread which strengthens man's heart. |
| 16 | The trees of the LORD are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, |
| 17 | Where the birds make their nests; The stork has her home in the fir trees. |
| 18 | The high hills are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers. |
| 19 | He appointed the moon for seasons; The sun knows its going down. |
| 20 | You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the beasts of the forest creep about. |
| 21 | The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God. |
| 22 | When the sun rises, they gather together And lie down in their dens. |
| 23 | Man goes out to his work And to his labor until the evening. |
| 24 | O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions-- |
| 25 | This great and wide sea, In which are innumerable teeming things, Living things both small and great. |
| 26 | There the ships sail about; There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there. |
| 27 | These all wait for You, That You may give them their food in due season. |
| 28 | What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good. |
| 29 | You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. |
| 30 | You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the earth. |
| 31 | May the glory of the LORD endure forever; May the LORD rejoice in His works. |
| 32 | He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke. |
| 33 | I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. |
| 34 | May my meditation be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the LORD. |
| 35 | May sinners be consumed from the earth, And the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD! |
| 1 | I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. |
