^[1]  Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:

^[1]  ---

^[2]  Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

^[2]  ---

^[3]  Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;

^[3]  ---

^[4]  Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;

^[4]  ---

^[5]  Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.

^[5]  ---

^[6]  Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.

^[6]  ---

^[7]  At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

^[7]  ---

^[8]  (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

^[8]  ---

^[9]  Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.

^[9]  ---

^[10]  He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;

^[10]  ---

^[11]  They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.

^[11]  ---

^[12]  By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.

^[12]  ---

^[13]  He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

^[13]  ---

^[14]  He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,

^[14]  ---

^[15]  And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, Andoil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.

^[15]  ---

^[16]  The trees of Jehovah are filledwith moisture, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

^[16]  ---

^[17]  Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.

^[17]  ---

^[18]  The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

^[18]  ---

^[19]  He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.

^[19]  ---

^[20]  Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

^[20]  ---

^[21]  The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

^[21]  ---

^[22]  The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

^[22]  ---

^[23]  Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.

^[23]  ---

^[24]  O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches.

^[24]  ---

^[25]  Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.

^[25]  ---

^[26]  There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.

^[26]  ---

^[27]  These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

^[27]  ---

^[28]  Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

^[28]  ---

^[29]  Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.

^[29]  ---

^[30]  Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.

^[30]  ---

^[31]  Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

^[31]  ---

^[32]  Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

^[32]  ---

^[33]  I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

^[33]  ---

^[34]  Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.

^[34]  ---

^[35]  Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.
