Psalms 104:5-105:24
Chapter 104
5 He established the earth on its foundations;
it will never be shaken.(g)
6 You covered it with the deep
as if it were a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.(h)
7 At Your rebuke the waters fled;
at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away(i)—
8 mountains rose and valleys sank[b]—
to the place You established for them.(j)
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;
they will never cover the earth again.(k)
10 He causes the springs to gush into the valleys;
they flow between the mountains.(l)
11 They supply water for every wild beast;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.(m)
12 The birds of the sky live beside the springs;
they sing among the foliage.(n)
13 He waters the mountains from His palace;
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.(o)
14 He causes grass to grow for the livestock
and provides crops for man to cultivate,
producing food from the earth,(p)
15 wine that makes man's heart glad—
making his face shine with oil—
and bread that sustains man's heart.(q)
16 The trees of the
Lord
flourish,[c]
the cedars of Lebanon that He planted.(r)
17 There the birds make their nests;
the stork makes its home in the pine trees.(s)
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;
the cliffs are a refuge for hyraxes.(t)
19 He made the moon to mark the[d] festivals;[e]
the sun knows when to set.(u)
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night,
when all the forest animals stir.(v)
21 The young lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.(w)
22 The sun rises; they go back
and lie down in their dens.(x)
23 Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until evening.(y)
24 How countless are Your works,
Lord
!
In wisdom You have made them all;
the earth is full of Your creatures.[f](z)
25 Here is the sea, vast and wide,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.(aa)
26 There the ships move about,
and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.(ab)
27 All of them wait for You
to give them their food at the right time.(ac)
28 When You give it to them,
they gather it;
when You open Your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.(ad)
29 When You hide Your face,
they are terrified;
when You take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.(ae)
30 When You send Your breath,[g]
they are created,
and You renew the face of the earth.(af)
31 May the glory of the
Lord
endure forever;
may the
Lord
rejoice in His works.(ag)
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the mountains,
and they pour out smoke.(ah)
33 I will sing to the
Lord
all my life;
I will sing praise to my God while I live.(ai)
34 May my meditation be pleasing to Him;
I will rejoice in the
Lord
.(aj)
35 May sinners vanish from the earth
and wicked people be no more.(ak)
My soul, praise Yahweh!
Hallelujah!
Chapter 105
Psalm 105
God's Faithfulness to His People
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name;
proclaim His deeds among the peoples.(a)
2 Sing to Him, sing praise to Him;
tell about all His wonderful works!(b)
3 Honor His holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.(c)
4 Search for the
Lord
and for His strength;
seek His face always.(d)
5 Remember the wonderful works He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments He has pronounced,[a](e)
6 you offspring of Abraham His servant,
Jacob's descendants—His chosen ones.(f)
7 He is the
Lord
our God;
His judgments govern the whole earth.(g)
8 He remembers His covenant forever,
the promise He ordained
for a thousand generations(h)—
9 the covenant He made with Abraham,
swore[b] to Isaac,(i)
10 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:(j)
11 "I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion."(k)
12 When they were few in number,
very few indeed,
and temporary residents in Canaan,(l)
13 wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,(m)
14 He allowed no one to oppress them;
He rebuked kings on their behalf:(n)
15 "Do not touch My anointed ones,(o)
or harm My prophets."(p)
16 He called down famine against the land
and destroyed the entire food supply.(q)
17 He had sent a man ahead of them—
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.(r)
18 They hurt his feet with shackles;
his neck was put in an iron collar.(s)
19 Until the time his prediction came true,
the word of the
Lord
tested him.(t)
20 The king sent for him and released him;
the ruler of peoples set him free.(u)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all his possessions(v)—
22 binding[c] his officials at will
and instructing his elders.(w)
23 Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.[d](x)
24 The
Lord
[e] made His people very fruitful;
He made them more numerous than their foes,(y)
