| 1 | For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty: |
| 2 | And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: |
| 3 | Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds. |
| 4 | Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire. |
| 5 | Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever. |
| 6 | The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand. |
| 7 | At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear. |
| 8 | The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them. |
| 9 | Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth. |
| 10 | Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass. |
| 11 | All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst. |
| 12 | Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices. |
| 13 | Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works: |
| 14 | Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: |
| 15 | And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man's heart. |
| 16 | The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: |
| 17 | There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron. |
| 18 | The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins. |
| 19 | He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. |
| 20 | Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about: |
| 21 | The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God. |
| 22 | The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens. |
| 23 | Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening. |
| 24 | How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches. |
| 25 | So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great. |
| 26 | There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. |
| 27 | All expect of thee that thou give them food in season. |
| 28 | What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good. |
| 29 | But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust. |
| 30 | Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. |
| 31 | May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. |
| 32 | He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth 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 my being. |
| 34 | Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord. |
| 35 | Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord. |
