Psalms 104:31-35

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!
