- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and four, Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh,
- 0:08Speaker 1: my God, you are very great. You are clothed with
- 0:11Speaker 1: honor and majesty. He covers himself with light, as with
- 0:14Speaker 1: a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
- 0:18Speaker 1: He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters.
- 0:21Speaker 1: He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the
- 0:24Speaker 1: wings of the wind. He makes his messengers, winds, his
- 0:27Speaker 1: servants flames of fire. He laid the foundations of the earth,
- 0:31Speaker 1: that it should not be moved forever. You covered it
- 0:34Speaker 1: with the deep, as with a cloak. The waters stood
- 0:37Speaker 1: above the mountains. At your rebuke, they fled at the
- 0:41Speaker 1: voice of your thunder, they hurried away. The mountains rose,
- 0:44Speaker 1: the valleys sank down to the place which you had
- 0:47Speaker 1: assigned to them. You have set a boundary that they
- 0:50Speaker 1: may not pass over, that they don't turn again to
- 0:53Speaker 1: cover the earth. He sends for springs into the valleys.
- 0:56Speaker 1: They run among the mountains. They give drink to every
- 1:00Speaker 1: animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
- 1:04Speaker 1: The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing
- 1:06Speaker 1: among the branches. He waters the mountains from his chambers.
- 1:10Speaker 1: The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
- 1:13Speaker 1: He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and
- 1:16Speaker 1: plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth
- 1:19Speaker 1: food out of the earth. Wine that makes glad the
- 1:22Speaker 1: heart of man, oil to make his face to shine,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and bread that strengthens man's heart. Yahways trees are well watered,
- 1:30Speaker 1: the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted, where the
- 1:34Speaker 1: bird makes their nest. The stork makes its home in
- 1:37Speaker 1: the fir trees. The high mountains are for the wild goats.
- 1:40Speaker 1: The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. He
- 1:43Speaker 1: appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
- 1:47Speaker 1: You make darkness, and it is night, and which all
- 1:50Speaker 1: the animals of the forest prow. The young lions roar
- 1:53Speaker 1: after their prey and seek their food from God. The
- 1:57Speaker 1: sun rises, and they steal away and lay down, and
- 2:00Speaker 1: their dens. Man goes forth to his work, to his labor,
- 2:04Speaker 1: until the evening. Yahweh, how many are your works. In
- 2:08Speaker 1: wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full
- 2:10Speaker 1: of your riches. There is the sea great and wide,
- 2:14Speaker 1: in which are innumerable living things, both small and large. Animals. There,
- 2:18Speaker 1: the ships go, and Leviathan, whom you form to play there.
- 2:22Speaker 1: These all wait for you, that you may give them
- 2:25Speaker 1: their food. In due season. You give to them. They
- 2:28Speaker 1: gather you open your hand. They are satisfied with good.
- 2:32Speaker 1: You hide your face. They are troubled. You take away
- 2:35Speaker 1: their breath. They die and return to the dust. You
- 2:39Speaker 1: send forth your spirit. They are created. You renew the
- 2:42Speaker 1: face of the ground. Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Let Yahweh rejoice in his works. He looks at the
- 2:49Speaker 1: earth and it trembles. He touches the mountains and they smoke.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I will sing praise to my God while I have
- 2:58Speaker 1: any being. Let your men ccitation be sweet to him.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I will rejoice in Yahweh. Let sinners be consumed out
- 3:05Speaker 1: of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh,
- 3:09Speaker 1: my soul, Praise Ya.
