Psalm 104

Responsorial Psalm

R. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, how great you are!
O Lord my God, how great you are,
Clothed in majesty and honour,
Wrapped in light as with a robe!
You stretch out the heavens like a tent. R.
On the waters you establish your dwelling.
You make the clouds your chariot;
You ride on the wings of the wind.
You make the winds your messengers,
Flame and fire your servants. R.
How many are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
Vast and wide is the span of the sea,
With its creeping things past counting,
Living things great and small. R.
All of these look to you
To give them their food in due season.
You give it, they gather it up;
You open wide your hand, they are well filled. R.
You hide your face, they are dismayed;
You take away their breath, they die,
Returning to the dust from which they came,
You send forth their spirit, and they are created,
And you renew the face of the earth. R.
