Texts -- Psalms 104:1-9 (NET)

Context
Psalm 104
104:1 Praise the Lord , O my soul ! O Lord my God , you are magnificent . You are robed in splendor and majesty . 104:2 He covers himself with light as if it were a garment . He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain , 104:3 and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds . He makes the clouds his chariot , and travels along on the wings of the wind . 104:4 He makes the winds his messengers , and the flaming fire his attendant . 104:5 He established the earth on its foundations ; it will never be upended . 104:6 The watery deep covered it like a garment ; the waters reached above the mountains . 104:7 Your shout made the waters retreat ; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off 104:8 as the mountains rose up , and the valleys went down – to the place you appointed for them . 104:9 You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross , so that they would not cover the earth again .
