104:31 May the splendor of the Lord endure! 1
May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made! 2
104:32 He looks down on the earth and it shakes;
he touches the mountains and they start to smolder.
104:33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist! 3
104:34 May my thoughts 4 be pleasing to him!
I will rejoice in the Lord.
104:35 May sinners disappear 5 from the earth,
and the wicked vanish!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord!
