Psalm 104 (WEBP)
[1] Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
[2] He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
[3] He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
[4] He makes his messengers§ winds, and his servants flames of fire.
[5] He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
[6] You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
[7] At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
[8] The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
[9] You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
[10] He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
[11] They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
[12] The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
[13] He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
[14] He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:
[15] wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
[16] Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
[17] where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
[18] The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
[19] He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
[20] You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
[21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
[22] The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
[23] Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.
[24] Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
[25] There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
[26] There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
[27] These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
[28] You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
[29] You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.
[30] You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
[31] Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
[32] He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
[33] I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
[34] Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
[35] Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!

Psalm 104 (KJVS)
[1] Bless H1288 (PielImpv) the Lord, H3068 O my soul. H5315 O Lord H3068 my God, H430 thou art very H3966 great; H1431 (QalPerf) Thou art clothed H3847 (QalPerf) with honour H1935 and majesty: H1926
[2] Who coverest H5844 (QalActPtc) thyself with light H216 as with a garment: H8008 Who stretchest out H5186 (QalActPtc) the heavens H8064 like a curtain: H3407
[3] Who layeth the beams H7136 (PielPtc) of his chambers H5944 in the waters: H4325 Who maketh H7760 (QalActPtc) the clouds H5645 his chariot: H7398 Who walketh H1980 (PielPtc) upon the wings H3671 of the wind: H7307
[4] Who maketh H6213 (QalActPtc) his angels H4397 spirits; H7307 His ministers H8334 (PielPtc) a flaming H3857 (QalActPtc) fire: H784
[5] Who laid H3245 (QalPerf) the foundations H4349 of the earth,§ H776 That it should not be removed H4131 (NiphImpf) for ever. H5769 H5703
[6] Thou coveredst H3680 (PielPerf) it with the deep H8415 as with a garment: H3830 The waters H4325 stood H5975 (QalImpf) above the mountains. H2022
[7] At H4480 thy rebuke H1606 they fled; H5127 (QalImpf) At the voice H6963 of thy thunder H7482 they hasted H2648 (NiphImpf) away.
[8] They go up H5927 (QalImpf) by the mountains;§ H2022 they go down H3381 (QalImpf) by the valleys H1237 Unto the place H4725 which H2088 thou hast founded H3245 (QalPerf) for them.
[9] Thou hast set H7760 (QalPerf) a bound H1366 that they may not pass over; H5674 (QalImpf) That they turn not again H7725 (QalImpf) to cover H3680 (PielInf) the earth. H776
[10] He sendeth§ H7971 (PielPtc) the springs H4599 into the valleys, H5158 Which run§ H1980 (PielImpf) among the hills. H2022
[11] They give drink H8248 (HiphImpf) to every beast H2416 of the field: H7704 The wild asses H6501 quench§ H7665 (QalImpf) their thirst. H6772
[12] By them shall the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 have their habitation, H7931 (QalImpf) Which sing§ H5414 (QalImpf) H6963 among H996 the branches. H6073
[13] He watereth H8248 (HiphPtc) the hills H2022 from his chambers: H5944 The earth H776 is satisfied H7646 (QalImpf) with the fruit H6529 of thy works. H4639
[14] He causeth the grass H2682 to grow H6779 (HiphPtc) for the cattle, H929 And herb H6212 for the service H5656 of man: H120 That he may bring forth H3318 (HiphInf) food H3899 out of the earth; H776
[15] And wine H3196 that maketh glad H8055 (PielImpf) the heart H3824 of man, H582 And oil H8081 to make his face H6440 to shine,§ H6670 (HiphInf) and bread H3899 which strengtheneth H5582 (QalImpf) man’s H582 heart. H3824
[16] The trees H6086 of the Lord H3068 are full H7646 (QalImpf) of sap; The cedars H730 of Lebanon, H3844 which he hath planted; H5193 (QalPerf)
[17] Where the birds H6833 make their nests: H7077 (PielImpf) As for the stork, H2624 the fir trees H1265 are her house. H1004
[18] The high H1364 hills H2022 are a refuge H4268 for the wild goats; H3277 And the rocks H5553 for the conies. H8227
[19] He appointed H6213 (QalPerf) the moon H3394 for seasons: H4150 The sun H8121 knoweth H3045 (QalPerf) his going down. H3996
[20] Thou makest H7896 (QalImpf) darkness, H2822 and it is night: H3915 Wherein all the beasts H2416 of the forest H3293 do creep H7430 (QalImpf) forth.§
[21] The young lions H3715 roar H7580 (QalActPtc) after their prey, H2964 And seek H1245 (PielInf) their meat H400 from God. H410
[22] The sun H8121 ariseth, H2224 (QalImpf) they gather themselves together, H622 (NiphImpf) And lay them down H7257 (QalImpf) in their dens. H4585
[23] Man H120 goeth forth H3318 (QalImpf) unto his work H6467 And to his labour H5656 until the evening. H6153
[24] O Lord, H3068 how manifold H7231 (QalPerf) are thy works! H4639 In wisdom H2451 hast thou made H6213 (QalPerf) them all: The earth H776 is full H4390 (QalPerf) of thy riches. H7075
[25] So is this great H1419 and wide H7342 H3027 sea, H3220 Wherein are things creeping H7431 innumerable, H4557 both small H6996 and great H1419 beasts. H2416
[26] There go H1980 (PielImpf) the ships: H591 There is that leviathan, H3882 Whom thou hast made§ H3335 (QalPerf) to play H7832 (PielInf) therein.
[27] These wait H7663 (PielImpf) all upon thee; That thou mayest give H5414 (QalInf) them their meat H400 in due season. H6256
[28] That thou givest H5414 (QalImpf) them they gather: H3950 (QalImpf) Thou openest H6605 (QalImpf) thine hand, H3027 they are filled H7646 (QalImpf) with good. H2896
[29] Thou hidest H5641 (HiphImpf) thy face, H6440 they are troubled: H926 (NiphImpf) Thou takest away H622 (QalImpf) their breath, H7307 they die, H1478 (QalImpf) and return H7725 (QalImpf) to their dust. H6083
[30] Thou sendest H7971 (PielImpf) forth thy spirit, H7307 they are created: H1254 (NiphImpf) And thou renewest H2318 (PielImpf) the face H6440 of the earth. H127
[31] The glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 shall endure§ for ever: H5769 The Lord H3068 shall rejoice H8055 (QalImpf) in his works. H4639
[32] He looketh H5027 (HiphPtc) on the earth, H776 and it trembleth: H7460 (QalImpf) He toucheth H5060 (QalImpf) the hills, H2022 and they smoke. H6225 (QalImpf)
[33] I will sing H7891 (QalImpf) unto the Lord H3068 as long as I live: H2416 I will sing H2167 (PielImpf) praise to my God H430 while I have my being. H5750
[34] My meditation H7879 of him shall be sweet: H6149 (QalImpf) I will be glad H8055 (QalImpf) in the Lord. H3068
[35] Let the sinners H2400 be consumed H8552 (NiphImpf) out of the earth, H776 and let the wicked H7563 be no more. Bless H1288 (PielImpv) thou the Lord, H3068 O my soul. H5315 Praise H1984 (PielImpv) ye the Lord. H3050

[1] [103:1] τω δαυιδ ευλογει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον κυριε ο θεος μου εμεγαλυνθης σφοδρα εξομολογησιν και ευπρεπειαν ενεδυσω
[2] [103:2] αναβαλλομενος φως ως ιματιον εκτεινων τον ουρανον ωσει δερριν
[3] [103:3] ο στεγαζων εν υδασιν τα υπερωα αυτου ο τιθεις νεφη την επιβασιν αυτου ο περιπατων επι πτερυγων ανεμων
[4] [103:4] ο ποιων τους αγγελους αυτου πνευματα και τους λειτουργους αυτου πυρ φλεγον
[5] [103:5] εθεμελιωσεν την γην επι την ασφαλειαν αυτης ου κλιθησεται εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος
[6] [103:6] αβυσσος ως ιματιον το περιβολαιον αυτου επι των ορεων στησονται υδατα
[7] [103:7] απο επιτιμησεως σου φευξονται απο φωνης βροντης σου δειλιασουσιν
[8] [103:8] αναβαινουσιν ορη και καταβαινουσιν πεδια εις τοπον ον εθεμελιωσας αυτοις
[9] [103:9] οριον εθου ο ου παρελευσονται ουδε επιστρεψουσιν καλυψαι την γην
[10] [103:10] ο εξαποστελλων πηγας εν φαραγξιν ανα μεσον των ορεων διελευσονται υδατα
[11] [103:11] ποτιουσιν παντα τα θηρια του αγρου προσδεξονται οναγροι εις διψαν αυτων
[12] [103:12] επ αυτα τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνωσει εκ μεσου των πετρων δωσουσιν φωνην
[13] [103:13] ποτιζων ορη εκ των υπερωων αυτου απο καρπου των εργων σου χορτασθησεται η γη
[14] [103:14] εξανατελλων χορτον τοις κτηνεσιν και χλοην τη δουλεια των ανθρωπων του εξαγαγειν αρτον εκ της γης
[15] [103:15] και οινος ευφραινει καρδιαν ανθρωπου του ιλαρυναι προσωπον εν ελαιω και αρτος καρδιαν ανθρωπου στηριζει
[16] [103:16] χορτασθησεται τα ξυλα του πεδιου αι κεδροι του λιβανου ας εφυτευσεν
[17] [103:17] εκει στρουθια εννοσσευσουσιν του ερωδιου η οικια ηγειται αυτων
[18] [103:18] ορη τα υψηλα ταις ελαφοις πετρα καταφυγη τοις χοιρογρυλλιοις
[19] [103:19] εποιησεν σεληνην εις καιρους ο ηλιος εγνω την δυσιν αυτου
[20] [103:20] εθου σκοτος και εγενετο νυξ εν αυτη διελευσονται παντα τα θηρια του δρυμου
[21] [103:21] σκυμνοι ωρυομενοι αρπασαι και ζητησαι παρα του θεου βρωσιν αυτοις
[22] [103:22] ανετειλεν ο ηλιος και συνηχθησαν και εν ταις μανδραις αυτων κοιτασθησονται
[23] [103:23] εξελευσεται ανθρωπος επι το εργον αυτου και επι την εργασιαν αυτου εως εσπερας
[24] [103:24] ως εμεγαλυνθη τα εργα σου κυριε παντα εν σοφια εποιησας επληρωθη η γη της κτησεως σου
[25] [103:25] αυτη η θαλασσα η μεγαλη και ευρυχωρος εκει ερπετα ων ουκ εστιν αριθμος ζωα μικρα μετα μεγαλων
[26] [103:26] εκει πλοια διαπορευονται δρακων ουτος ον επλασας εμπαιζειν αυτω
[27] [103:27] παντα προς σε προσδοκωσιν δουναι την τροφην αυτοις ευκαιρον
[28] [103:28] δοντος σου αυτοις συλλεξουσιν ανοιξαντος δε σου την χειρα τα συμπαντα πλησθησονται χρηστοτητος
[29] [103:29] αποστρεψαντος δε σου το προσωπον ταραχθησονται αντανελεις το πνευμα αυτων και εκλειψουσιν και εις τον χουν αυτων επιστρεψουσιν
[30] [103:30] εξαποστελεις το πνευμα σου και κτισθησονται και ανακαινιεις το προσωπον της γης
[31] [103:31] ητω η δοξα κυριου εις τον αιωνα ευφρανθησεται κυριος επι τοις εργοις αυτου
[32] [103:32] ο επιβλεπων επι την γην και ποιων αυτην τρεμειν ο απτομενος των ορεων και καπνιζονται
[33] [103:33] ασω τω κυριω εν τη ζωη μου ψαλω τω θεω μου εως υπαρχω
[34] [103:34] ηδυνθειη αυτω η διαλογη μου εγω δε ευφρανθησομαι επι τω κυριω
[35] [103:35] εκλιποισαν αμαρτωλοι απο της γης και ανομοι ωστε μη υπαρχειν αυτους ευλογει η ψυχη μου τον κυριον
