Psalm 104
Bless the Lord, O my soul
: O Lord my God, how great you are!
Beside them the birds of the air build their nests
: and sing among the branches.
You water the mountains from your dwelling on high
: and the earth is filled by the fruits of your work.
You cause the grass to grow for the cattle
: and all green things for the servants of mankind.
Man goes out to his work
: and to his labour until the evening.
Lord, how various are your works
: in wisdom you have made them all,
and the earth is full of your creatures.
There is the wide, immeasurable sea
: there move living things without number,
great and small;
There go the ships, to and fro
: and there is that Leviathan
whom you formed to sport in the deep.
These all look to you
: to give them their food in due season.
When you give it to them, they gather it
: when you open your hand
they are satisfied with good things.
When you hide your face, they are troubled
: when you take away their breath,
they die and return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit they are created
: and you renew the face of the earth.
