Psalm 104

God the Creator and Provider

Bless the Lord, O my soul.
    O Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with honor and majesty,(A)
    wrapped in light as with a garment.
You stretch out the heavens like a tent;(B)
    you set the beams of your[a] chambers on the waters;
you make the clouds your[b] chariot;
    you ride on the wings of the wind;(C)
you make the winds your[c] messengers,
    fire and flame your[d] ministers.(D)

You set the earth on its foundations,
    so that it shall never be shaken.(E)
You cover it with the deep as with a garment;
    the waters stood above the mountains.(F)
At your rebuke they flee;
    at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.
They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys,
    to the place that you appointed for them.(G)
You set a boundary that they may not pass,
    so that they might not again cover the earth.(H)
