Psalm 104:1–2, 5–6, 10, 12, 13–14, 24, 35
Lyrics
Chorus Lord, send out Your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. Verse 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory, Robed in light as with a cloak. Verse 2 You fixed the earth upon its foundation, Not to be moved forever; With the ocean, as with a garment, you covered it; Above the mountains the waters stood. Verse 3 You send forth springs into the watercourses That wind among the mountains. Beside them the birds of heaven dwell; From among the branches they send forth their song. Verse 4 You water the mountains from you palace; The earth is replete with the fruit of your works. You raise grass for the cattle, and vegetation for man's use, Producing bread from the earth. Verse 5 How manifold are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you have wrought them all– The earth is full of your creatures. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
