| 1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty. |
| 2 | Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain; |
| 3 | Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind; |
| 4 | Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers. |
| 5 | Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever; |
| 6 | Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains. |
| 7 | At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away— |
| 8 | The mountains rose, the valleys sank down— Unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them; |
| 9 | Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, That they might not return to cover the earth. |
| 10 | Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; They run between the mountains; |
| 11 | They give drink to every beast of the field, The wild asses quench their thirst. . |
| 12 | Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, From among the branches they sing. |
| 13 | Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; The earth is full of the fruit of Thy works. |
| 14 | Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; To bring forth bread out of the earth, |
| 15 | And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, Making the face brighter than oil, And bread that stayeth man's heart. |
| 16 | The trees of the LORD have their fill, The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted; |
| 17 | Wherein the birds make their nests; As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house. |
| 18 | The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies. |
| 19 | Who appointedst the moon for seasons; The sun knoweth his going down. |
| 20 | Thou makest 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 food from God. |
| 22 | The sun ariseth, they slink away, And couch in their dens. |
| 23 | Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labour until the evening. |
| 24 | How manifold are Thy works, O LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; The earth is full of Thy creatures. |
| 25 | Yonder sea, great and wide, Therein are creeping things innumerable, Living creatures, both small and great. |
| 26 | There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein. |
| 27 | All of them wait for Thee, That Thou mayest give them their food in due season. |
| 28 | Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good. |
| 29 | Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, And return to their dust. |
| 30 | Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth. |
| 31 | May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in His works! |
| 32 | Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. |
| 33 | I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. |
| 34 | Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD. |
| 35 | Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah. |
