1(104) [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you have clothed yourself with praise and honor:
1Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2who do robe yourself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.
2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3Who covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.
3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.
5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.
6The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7At your rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of your thunder they shall be alarmed.
7He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which you have founded for them.
8The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9You have set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.
9He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.
10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.
11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13He waters the mountains from his chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of your works.
13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;
14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.
15As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.
16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
17But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.
18To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
19The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20You did make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:
20Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21[even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.
21Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.
22Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
