Psalm 104:1–9

GOD THE CREATOR

1 My soul, bless the Lord!

Lord my God, you are very great;

you are clothed with majesty and splendor.aa

2 He wraps himself in light as if it were a robe,

spreading out the sky like a canopy,ab

3 laying the beams of his palace

on the waters above,ac

making the clouds his chariot,ad

walking on the wings of the wind,ae

4 and making the winds his messengers,A

flames of fire his servants.af

5 He established the earth on its foundations;

it will never be shaken.ag

6 You covered it with the deep

as if it were a garment;

the water stood above the mountains.ah

7 At your rebuke the water fled;

at the sound of your thunder they hurried awayai—

8 mountains rose and valleys sankB—

to the place you established for them.aj

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;

they will never cover the earth again.a
