God the Creator and Provider

104 [a]Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, thou art very great!
Thou art clothed with honor and majesty,
    who coverest thyself with light as with a garment,
who hast stretched out the heavens like a tent,
    who hast laid the beams of thy chambers on the waters,
who makest the clouds thy chariot,
    who ridest on the wings of the wind,
who makest the winds thy messengers,
    fire and flame thy ministers.

Thou didst set the earth on its foundations,
    so that it should never be shaken.

Footnotes

  1. 104 A magnificent hymn of creation, it should be compared with Gen 1. It is remarkably similar to an Egyptian hymn to Aten, the sun god.
