Five years ago this would have been empty words, today after four years on the Land they are rich and deep:
Ps 104
Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
**2 **Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
**3 **Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
**4 **Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
**5 **Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
**6 **Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
**7 **At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
**8 **They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
**9 **Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
**10 **He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
**11 **They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
**12 **By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
**13 **He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
**14 **He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
**15 **And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
**16 **The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
**17 **Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
**18 **The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
**19 **He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
**20 **Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
**21 **The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
**22 **The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
**23 **Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
**24 **O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
**25 **So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
**26 **There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
**27 **These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
**28 **That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
**29 **Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
**30 **Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
**31 **The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
**32 **He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
**33 **I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
**34 **My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.
**35 **Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.Updated Apr 6, 2019, 11:08 AM
