Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

Verse 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;

Verse 4

Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;

Verse 5

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

Verse 6

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

Verse 7

At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away

Verse 8

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

Verse 9

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

Verse 10

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;

Verse 11

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

Verse 12

By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.

Verse 13

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

Verse 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,

Verse 15

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, [And] oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.

Verse 16

The trees of Jehovah are filled [with moisture], The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Verse 17

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

Verse 18

The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

Verse 19

He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.

Verse 20

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

Verse 21

The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.

Verse 22

The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

Verse 23

Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.

Verse 24

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

Verse 25

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

Verse 26

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

Verse 27

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

Verse 28

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

Verse 29

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

Verse 30

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

Verse 31

Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:

Verse 32

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

Verse 33

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

Verse 34

Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.

Verse 35

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