Chapître 104
- 1
- Bless16 the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great;1 thou art clothed1 with honour and majesty.
- 2
- Who coverest6 [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out6 the heavens like a curtain:
- 3
- Who layeth the beams18 of his chambers in the waters: who maketh6 the clouds his chariot: who walketh18 upon the wings of the wind:
- 4
- Who maketh6 his angels spirits; his ministers18 a flaming6 fire:
- 5
- [Who] laid1 the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed11 for ever. 5703
- 6
- Thou coveredst14 it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood4 above the mountains.
- 7
- At thy rebuke they fled;4 at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.11
- 8
- They go up4 by the mountains; they go down4 by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded1 for them.
- 9
- Thou hast set1 a bound that they may not pass over;4 that they turn not again4 to cover15 the earth.
- 10
- He sendeth18 the springs into the valleys, [which] run17 among the hills.
- 11
- They give drink55 to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench4 their thirst.
- 12
- By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,4 [which] sing4 6963 among the branches.
- 13
- He watereth56 the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied4 with the fruit of thy works.
- 14
- He causeth the grass to grow56 for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth53 food out of the earth;
- 15
- And wine [that] maketh glad17 the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine,53 and bread [which] strengtheneth4 man's heart.
- 16
- The trees of the LORD are full4 [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;1
- 17
- Where the birds make their nests:17 [as for] the stork, the fir trees [are] her house.
- 18
- The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies.
- 19
- He appointed1 the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth1 his going down.
- 20
- Thou makest4 darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep4 [forth].
- 21
- The young lions roar6 after their prey, and seek15 their meat from God.
- 22
- The sun ariseth,4 they gather11 themselves together, and lay them down4 in their dens.
- 23
- Man goeth forth4 unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
- 24
- O LORD, how manifold1 are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made1 them all: the earth is full1 of thy riches.
- 25
- [So is] this great and wide 3027 sea, wherein [are] things creeping innumerable, 4557 both small and great beasts.
- 26
- There go17 the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou hast made1 to play15 therein.
- 27
- These wait17 all upon thee; that thou mayest give2 [them] their meat in due season.
- 28
- [That] thou givest4 them they gather:4 thou openest4 thine hand, they are filled4 with good.
- 29
- Thou hidest55 thy face, they are troubled:11 thou takest away4 their breath, they die,4 and return4 to their dust.
- 30
- Thou sendest17 forth thy spirit, they are created:11 and thou renewest17 the face of the earth.
- 31
- The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice4 in his works.
- 32
- He looketh56 on the earth, and it trembleth:4 he toucheth4 the hills, and they smoke.4
- 33
- I will sing4 unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise17 to my God while I have my being.
- 34
- My meditation of him shall be sweet:4 I will be glad4 in the LORD.
- 35
- Let the sinners be consumed11 out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless16 thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise16 ye the LORD.
