[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.
[2] Who cover yourself with light as with a garment: who stretch out the heavens like a curtain:
[3] Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks on the wings of the wind:
[4] Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
[5] Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
[6] You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
[7] At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
[8] They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which you have founded for them.
[9] You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
[10] He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
[11] They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
[12] By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
[13] He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
[14] He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
[15] And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart.
[16] The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
[17] Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
[18] The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
[19] He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
[20] You make darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
[21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
[22] The sun rises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
[23] Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
[24] O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.
[25] So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
[26] There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom you have made to play therein.
[27] These wait all on you; that you may give them their meat in due season.
[28] That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
[29] You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
[30] You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
[31] The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
[32] He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
[33] I will sing to the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
[34] My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
[35] Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise you the LORD.
