1Bless the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honour and majesty.
2You cover yourself with light as with a robe. You stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
3You lay the beams of your rooms in the waters. You make the clouds your chariot. You walk on the wings of the wind.
4He makes his angels spirits, and his servants a flaming fire.
5He laid the foundations of the earth, so that it should never be moved.
6You covered it with the deep as with a robe. The waters stood above the mountains.
7At your rebuke they fled. At the sound of your thunder they hurried away.
8They go up by the mountains. They go down by the valleys, to the place you made ready for them.
9You have set a boundary they may not cross, so that they will not come back to cover the earth.
10He sends the springs into the valleys, and they run among the hills.
11They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12Beside them the birds of the sky make their home, and sing among the branches.
13He waters the hills from his rooms above. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14He makes the grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to use, so that he may bring food out of the earth;
15and wine that makes a man's heart glad, and oil to make his face shine, and bread that strengthens a man's heart.
16The trees of the LORD are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted.
17There the birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, and the rocks for the conies.
19He appointed the moon to mark the seasons. The sun knows when to go down.
20You make darkness, and it is night. Then all the beasts of the forest creep out.
21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22The sun rises; they gather together, and lie down in their dens.
23Man goes out to his work and to his labour until the evening.
24LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
25So is this great, wide sea, where there are creeping things beyond counting, both small and great creatures.
26There the ships go. There is that leviathan, which you made to play in it.
27All of these wait for you, to give them their food at the right time.
28What you give them, they gather up. You open your hand, and they are filled with good things.
29You hide your face, and they are troubled. You take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust.
30You send out your spirit, and they are created. You make the face of the earth new again.
31The glory of the LORD will last for ever. The LORD will rejoice in his works.
32He looks on the earth, and it trembles. He touches the hills, and they smoke.
33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34My thoughts about him will be sweet. I will be glad in the LORD.
35Let sinners be swept away from the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. Praise the LORD.
