Psalms 104:5-105:24
Chapter 104
5 He (C1)established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not (F1)totter forever and ever.
6 You (C1)covered it with the deep sea as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.
7 They fled from Your (C1)rebuke,
At the (C2)sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down
To the (C1)place which You established for them.
9 You set a (C1)boundary so that they will not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.
10 (F1)He sends forth (C1)springs in the valleys;
They flow between the mountains;
11 They (C1)give drink to every animal of the field;
The (C2)wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky (C1)dwell (F1)beside them;
They (F2)lift up their voices from among the branches.
13 (F1)He (C1)waters the mountains from His upper chambers;
(C2)The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.
14 (F1)He causes the (C1)grass to grow for the (F2)cattle,
And (C2)vegetation for the labor of mankind,
So that (F3)they may produce (F4)food (C3)from the earth,
15 And (C1)wine, which makes a human heart cheerful,
(C2)So that he makes his face gleam with oil,
And (F1)food, which (C3)sustains a human heart.
16 The trees of the LORD (F1)drink their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the (C1)birds build their nests,
And the (C2)stork, whose home is the juniper trees.
18 The high mountains are for the (C1)wild goats;
The (C2)cliffs are a refuge for the (C3)rock hyrax.
19 He made the moon (C1)for the seasons;
The (C2)sun knows the place of its setting.
20 You (C1)appoint darkness and it becomes night,
In which all the (C2)animals of the forest (F1)prowl about.
21 The (C1)young lions roar for their prey
(F1)And (C2)seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises they withdraw,
And they lie down in their (C1)dens.
23 A person goes out to (C1)his work
And to his labor until evening.
24 LORD, how (C1)many are Your works!
(F1)In (C2)wisdom You have made them all;
The (C3)earth is full of Your (F2)possessions.
25 (F1)There is the (C1)sea, great and (F2)broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.
26 The (C1)ships move along there,
And (F1)(C2)Leviathan, which You have formed to have fun in it.
27 They all (C1)wait for You
To (C2)give them their food in (F1)due season.
28 You give to them, they gather it up;
You (C1)open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 You (C1)hide Your face, they are terrified;
You (C2)take away their breath, they perish
And (C3)return to their dust.
30 You send forth Your (F1)(C1)Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground.
31 May the (C1)glory of the LORD endure forever;
May the LORD (C2)rejoice in His works;
32 (F1)He (C1)looks at the earth, and it (C2)trembles;
He (C3)touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 (F1)I will sing to the LORD (F2)(C1)as long as I live;
(F1)I will (C2)sing praise to my God (F3)while I have my being.
34 May my (C1)praise be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall (C2)rejoice in the LORD.
35 May sinners be (C1)removed from the earth
And may the (C2)wicked be no more.
(C3)Bless the LORD, my soul.
(F1)(C4)Praise (F2)the LORD!
Chapter 105
The LORD'S Wonderful Works in Behalf of Israel.
1 (C1)Give thanks to the LORD, (C2)call upon His name;
(C3)Make His deeds known among the peoples.
2 Sing to Him, (C1)sing praises to Him;
(F1)(C2)Tell of all His (F2)wonders.
3 Boast in His holy name;
May the (C1)heart of those who seek the LORD be joyful.
4 Seek the LORD and (C1)His strength;
(C2)Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His (F1)(C1)wonders which He has done,
His marvels and the (C2)judgments (F2)spoken by His mouth,
6 You (F1)descendants of (C1)Abraham, His servant,
You sons of (C2)Jacob, His (C3)chosen ones!
7 He is the LORD our God;
His (C1)judgments are in all the earth.
8 He has (C1)remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a (C2)thousand generations,
9 The (C1)covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His (C2)oath to Isaac.
10 Then He (C1)confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, "(C1)To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the (F1)(C2)portion of your inheritance,"
12 When they were only a (C1)few people in number,
Very few, and (C2)strangers in it.
13 And they wandered from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people,
14 He (C1)allowed no one to oppress them,
And He (F1)(C2)rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
15 "(C1)Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do not harm My prophets."
16 And He (C1)called for a famine upon the land;
He (C2)broke the whole staff of bread.
17 He (C1)sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was (C2)sold as a slave.
18 They forced his (C1)feet into shackles,
(F1)He was put in irons;
19 Until the time that his (C1)word came to pass,
The word of the LORD (C2)refined him.
20 The (C1)king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
21 He (C1)made him lord of his house,
And ruler over all his possessions,
22 To (F1)imprison his high officials (F2)(C1)at will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
23 (C1)Israel also came into Egypt;
So Jacob (C2)lived in the land of Ham.
24 And He (C1)made His people very fruitful,
And made them stronger than their enemies.<
