Psalm 104:1-9

Common English Bible

104 Let my whole being^[a] bless the Lord!
    Lord my God, how fantastic you are!
    You are clothed in glory and grandeur!
² You wear light like a robe;
    you open the skies like a curtain.
³ You build your lofty house on the waters;
    you make the clouds your chariot,
    going around on the wings of the wind.
⁴ You make the winds your messengers;
    you make fire and flame your ministers.
⁵ You established the earth on its foundations
    so that it will never ever fall.
⁶ You covered it with the watery deep like a piece of clothing;
    the waters were higher than the mountains!
⁷ But at your rebuke they ran away;
    they fled in fear at the sound of your thunder.
⁸ They flowed over the mountains,
    streaming down the valleys
    to the place you established for them.
⁹ You set a boundary they cannot cross
    so they’ll never again cover the earth.
