Psalm 104:1-35 NIrV

[1] I will praise the LORD. LORD my God, you are very great. You are dressed in glory and majesty. [2] The LORD wraps himself in light as if it were a robe. He spreads out the heavens like a tent. [3] He builds his palace high in the heavens. He makes the clouds serve as his chariot. He rides on the wings of the wind. [4] He makes the winds serve as his messengers. He makes flashes of lightning serve him. [5] He placed the earth on its foundations. It can never be moved. [6] You, LORD, covered it with the oceans like a blanket. The waters covered the mountains. [7] But you commanded the waters, and they ran away. At the sound of your thunder they rushed off. [8] They flowed down the mountains. They went into the valleys. They went to the place you appointed for them. [9] You drew a line they can’t cross. They will never cover the earth again. [10] The LORD makes springs pour water into the valleys. It flows between the mountains. [11] The springs give water to all the wild animals. The wild donkeys satisfy their thirst. [12] The birds in the sky build nests by the waters. They sing among the branches. [13] The LORD waters the mountains from his palace high in the clouds. The earth is filled with the things he has made. [14] He makes grass grow for the cattle and plants for people to take care of. That’s how they get food from the earth. [15] There is wine to make people glad. There is olive oil to make their skin glow. And there is bread to make them strong. [16] The cedar trees of Lebanon belong to the LORD. He planted them and gave them plenty of water. [17] There the birds make their nests. The stork has its home in the juniper trees. [18] The high mountains belong to the wild goats. The cliffs are a safe place for the rock badgers. [19] The LORD made the moon to mark off the seasons. The sun knows when to go down. [20] You, LORD, bring darkness, and it becomes night. Then all the animals of the forest prowl around. [21] The lions roar while they hunt. All their food comes from God. [22] The sun rises, and they slip away. They return to their dens and lie down. [23] Then people get up and go to work. They keep working until evening. [24] LORD, you have made so many things! How wise you were when you made all of them! The earth is full of your creatures. [25] Look at the ocean, so big and wide! It is filled with more creatures than people can count. It is filled with living things, from the largest to the smallest. [26] Ships sail back and forth on it. Leviathan, the sea monster you made, plays in it. [27] All creatures depend on you to give them their food when they need it. [28] When you give it to them, they eat it. When you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. [29] When you turn your face away from them, they are terrified. When you take away their breath, they die and turn back into dust. [30] When you send your Spirit, you create them. You give new life to the ground. [31] May the glory of the LORD continue forever. May the LORD be happy with what he has made. [32] When he looks at the earth, it trembles. When he touches the mountains, they pour out smoke. [33] I will sing to the LORD all my life. I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. [34] May these thoughts of mine please him. I find my joy in the LORD. [35] But may sinners be gone from the earth. May evil people disappear. I will praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
