Psalms 104

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 104 of 150

1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul! O Jehovah my God, You are very great; You have put on honor and majesty,

2 covering Yourself with light like a cloak, and stretching out the heavens like a curtain;

3 who lays beams in the waters of His upper rooms; setting thick clouds as His chariots; walking on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flaming fire.
