| | 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 | He lays the beams of His upper 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 flame of fire. | |
| | 5 | You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever, | |
| | 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 hastened away. | |
| | 8 | They went up over the mountains; They went down into the valleys, To the place which You founded for them. | |
| | 9 | You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth. | |
| | 10 | He sends the springs into the valleys, They flow among the hills. | |
| | 11 | They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. | |
| | 12 | By them the birds of the heavens have their home; They sing among the branches. | |
| | 13 | He waters the hills from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. | |
| | 14 | He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man, That he may bring forth food from the earth, | |
| | 15 | And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And bread which strengthens man's heart. | |
| | 16 | The trees of the LORD are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, | |
| | 17 | Where the birds make their nests; The stork has her home in the fir trees. | |
| | 18 | The high hills are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers. | |
| | 19 | He appointed the moon for seasons; The sun knows its going down. | |
| | 20 | You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the beasts of the forest creep about. | |
| | 21 | The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God. | |
| | 22 | When the sun rises, they gather together And lie down in their dens. | |
| | 23 | Man goes out to his work And to his labor until the evening. | |
| | 24 | O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions-- | |
| | 25 | This great and wide sea, In which are innumerable teeming things, Living things both small and great. | |
| | 26 | There the ships sail about; There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there. | |
| | 27 | These all wait for You, That You may give them their food in due season. | |
| | 28 | What You give them they gather in; 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 | May the glory of the LORD endure forever; May the LORD 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 | May my meditation be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the LORD. | |
| | 35 | May sinners be consumed from the earth, And the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD! | |
