Psalm 104


1.1 My soul, bless the LORD! LORD God, You are great!
With honor arrayed, majestic in state,
2 You cover Yourself with a garment of light
And stretch out the sky as a curtain by night.
2.3 The beams of Your courts in waters You laid;
 On wings of the wind Your pathway You made.
4 The clouds are Your chariot; the winds do Your will;
The flames and the lightnings Your pleasure fulfil.
3.5 You set up the earth on foundations sure,
That always it should unshaken endure.
6 The deep like a garment about it You cast;
The waters stood high; over mountains they passed.
4.7 But at Your rebuke the high waters fled;
Your thunder they heard and fast away sped.
8 The mountains arose, and the valleys sank low;
The place You appointed for them now they know.

....
12.24 How many works, LORD, in wisdom You've made!
How full on the earth, Your riches displayed!
25 Out yonder the ocean, how great and how wide,
Where small and great creatures unnumbered abide!
13.26 Where ships sail the deep, Leviathans play;
27 These all look to You to give food each day.
28 Whatever You give them they gather for food;
When Your hand You open You fill them with good.
14.29 When You hide Your face, bewildered they yearn.
When You take their breath, to dust they return.
30 When You send Your spirit, created are they.
The face of the ground You renew every day.
15.31 Forever O may the LORD's glory stand!
The LORD shall enjoy each work of His hand.
32 He looks on the earth and it trembles in fear;
When He touches mountains, the smoke will appear.
16.33 I'll sing to the LORD as long as I live,
Sing praise to my God while life He will give.
34 My thoughts about Him will sweet pleasure afford.
For I am rejoicing each day in the LORD.
17.35 Consumed from the earth let sinners then be;
The wicked in life no more let us see.
And now, O my soul, blessing give to the LORD.
Let glad hallelujahs ring; O praise the LORD!

Tune: Houghton

This sounds a little different from what we sing.
Maybe we are off ....Its the best I can find for now
