Tehillim 104
Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 104
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 Bless HaShem, O my soul. O HaShem my G-d, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away--
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down--unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, that they might not return to cover the earth.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between the mountains;
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; the earth is full of the fruit of Thy works.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000D-QINU`"'14 Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; to bring forth bread out of the earth,
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000E-QINU`"'15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, and bread that stayeth man's heart.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000F-QINU`"'16 The trees of HaShem have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000010-QINU`"'17 Wherein the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000011-QINU`"'18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000012-QINU`"'19 Who appointedst the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his going down.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000013-QINU`"'20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000014-QINU`"'21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from G-d.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000015-QINU`"'22 The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch in their dens.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000016-QINU`"'23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000017-QINU`"'24 How manifold are Thy works, O HaShem! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy creatures.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000018-QINU`"'25 Yonder sea, great and wide, therein are creeping things innumerable, living creatures, both small and great.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000019-QINU`"'26 There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001A-QINU`"'27 All of them wait for Thee, that Thou mayest give them their food in due season.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001B-QINU`"'28 Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001C-QINU`"'29 Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, and return to their dust.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001D-QINU`"'30 Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001E-QINU`"'31 May the glory of HaShem endure for ever; let HaShem rejoice in His works!
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001F-QINU`"'32 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000020-QINU`"'33 I will sing unto HaShem as long as I live; I will sing praise to my G-d while I have any being.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000021-QINU`"'34 Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in HaShem.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000022-QINU`"'35 Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless HaShem, O my soul. Hallelujah.
