“Let all that I am praise the Lord.
O Lord my God, how great You are! You are robed with honor and majesty. You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens; You lay out the rafters of Your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds Your chariot; You ride upon the wings of the wind. The winds are Your messengers; flames of fire are Your servants. “
“You make spring pour water into the ravines, so steams gush down from the mountains. They provide water for al the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees. You send rain on the mountains from Your heavenly home, and You fill the earth with the fruit of Your labor. You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food fro the earth- wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin and bread to give them strength.”
“You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set. You send the darkness, and it becomes light, when all the forest animals prowl about. The young lions roar for for their prey, stalking the food provided by God. At dawn they slink back to their dens to rest. Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.
O Lord, what a variety of things You have made! In wisdom You have made the all. The earth is full of Your creatures. Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every king, both large and small. See the ships sailing along, and the Leviathan, which You made to play in the sea.”
“I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath! May all my thought be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the Lord.”
(Psalm 104 1-4, 10-15, 19-16, 33-34, NLT)
