Psalms 104:34
32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
35 May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!
