The Bible

Psalm 104:1-9

  1   Bless the LORD, O my soul.
             O LORD my God, you are very great.
         You are clothed with honor and majesty,
  2       wrapped in light as with a garment.
         You stretch out the heavens like a tent,
  3       you set the beams of your chambers on the waters,
         you make the clouds your chariot,
             you ride on the wings of the wind,
  4   you make the winds your messengers,
         fire and flame your ministers.
  5   You set the earth on its foundations,
         so that it shall never be shaken.
  6   You cover it with the deep as with a garment;
         the waters stood above the mountains.
  7   At your rebuke they flee;
         at the sound of your thunder
             they take to flight.
  8   They rose up to the mountains,
             ran down to the valleys
         to the place that you appointed for them.
  9   You set a boundary that they may not pass,
         so that they might not again cover the earth.
