01:40Psalm 104
01:46Praise the Lord O my soul O Lord my God you are magnificent you are robed in splendor and majesty
01:54he covers himself with light as if it were a garment he stretches out the skies like a tent curtain
02:03and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds he makes the clouds his
02:10chariot and travels the
02:11along on the wings of the wind on the wings of the wind he makes the winds his messengers and
02:17the flaming fire his attendant he established the earth on its foundations it will never be moved
02:26The watery deep covered it like a garment the waters reached above the mountains your shout made the waters retreat
02:38at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off as the mountains rose up and the valleys went down
02:44to the place you appointed for them
02:48You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross so that they would not cover the earth
02:54again
02:56He turns springs into streams they flow between the mountains
03:01They provide water for all the animals in the field the wild donkeys quench their thirst
03:07The birds of the sky live beside them they chirp among the bushes
03:13He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace
03:17The earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow
03:24He provides grass for the cattle and crops for the people to cultivate so that they can produce food from
03:30the ground
03:32As well as wine that makes people feel so good and so they can have oil to make their faces
03:38shine
03:38As well as food that sustains people's lives
03:44The trees of the Lord receive all the rain they need the cedars of Lebanon which he planted where the
03:50birds make their nests near the evergreens in which the herons live
03:56The wild goats live in the high mountains the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs
04:03He made the moon to mark the months and the sun sets according to a regular schedule
04:10You make it dark and night comes during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around
04:17The lions roar for prey seeking their food from God
04:23When the sun rises they withdraw and sleep in their dens
04:28Men then go out to do their work and labour away until evening
04:34How many living things have you made O Lord?
04:37You have exhibited great skill in making all of them
04:41The earth is full of living things you have made
04:46Over here is the deep wide sea which teems with innumerable swimming creatures living things both small and large
04:55The ships travel there and over here swims the whale you made to play in it
05:03All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis
05:08You give food to them and they receive it
05:11You open your hand and they are filled with food
05:14When you ignore them they panic
05:17When you take away their life's breath they die and return to dust
05:22When you send your life-giving breath they are created and you replenish the surface of the ground
05:30May the splendour of the Lord endure
05:32May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made
05:37He looks down on the earth and it shakes
05:40He touches the mountains and they start to smoulder
05:45I will sing to the Lord as long as I live
05:48I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist
05:53May my thoughts be pleasing to him
05:55I will rejoice in the Lord
05:58May sinners disappear from the earth and the wicked vanish
06:03Praise the Lord O my soul

06:54May rest upon your eternal changelessness

08:32But deliver us from evil
08:36For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory
08:40For ever and ever
08:43Amen
08:46In peace will we lie down and sleep
08:51For you alone Lord

09:02And the day is now past
09:06And the day is now past
09:07As the night watch looks for the morning
09:10So do we look for you
09:12O Christ
09:17Come with the dawning of the day
09:19And make yourself known
09:21In the breaking of the bread
09:26May the Lord bless us and watch over us
09:30The Lord make his face shine upon us
09:33And be gracious to us
09:37The Lord look kindly on us
09:39And give us peace
09:42Amen
