| 1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty, |
| 2 | wrapped in light as with a garment. You stretch out the heavens like a tent, |
| 3 | you set the beams of your chambers on the waters, you make the clouds your chariot, you ride on the wings of the wind, |
| 4 | you make the winds your messengers, fire and flame your ministers. |
| 5 | You set the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never be shaken. |
| 6 | You cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. |
| 7 | At your rebuke they flee; at the sound of your thunder they take to flight. |
| 8 | They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys to the place that you appointed for them. |
| 9 | You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth. |
| 10 | You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills, |
| 11 | giving drink to every wild animal; the wild asses quench their thirst. |
| 12 | By the streams the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among the branches. |
| 13 | From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. |
| 14 | You cause the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for people to use, to bring forth food from the earth, |
| 15 | and wine to gladden the human heart, oil to make the face shine, and bread to strengthen the human heart. |
| 16 | The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. |
| 17 | In them the birds build their nests; the stork has its home in the fir trees. |
| 18 | The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the coneys. |
| 19 | You have made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting. |
| 20 | You make darkness, and it is night, when all the animals of the forest come creeping out. |
| 21 | The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. |
| 22 | When the sun rises, they withdraw and lie down in their dens. |
| 23 | People go out to their work and to their 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 creatures. |
| 25 | Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great. |
| 26 | There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it. |
| 27 | These all look to you to give them their food in due season; |
| 28 | when you give to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. |
| 29 | When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. |
| 30 | When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground. |
| 31 | May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works — |
| 32 | who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains 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 being. |
| 34 | May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD. |
| 35 | Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD! |
