- 1. My soule, prayse thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glorie and honour.
- 2. Which couereth himselfe with light as with a garment, and spreadeth the heauens like a curtaine.
- 3. Which layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the cloudes his chariot, and walketh vpon the wings of the winde.
- 4. Which maketh his spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
- 5. He set the earth vpon her foundations, so that it shall neuer moue.
- 6. Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters woulde stand aboue the mountaines.
- 7. But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voyce of thy thunder they haste away.
- 8. And the mountaines ascend, and the valleis descend to the place which thou hast established for them.
- 9. But thou hast set them a bounde, which they shall not passe: they shall not returne to couer the earth.
- 10. He sendeth the springs into the valleis, which runne betweene the mountaines.
- 11. They shall giue drinke to all the beasts of the fielde, and the wilde asses shall quench their thirst.
- 12. By these springs shall the foules of the heauen dwell, and sing among the branches.
- 13. He watereth the mountaines from his chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
- 14. He causeth grasse to growe for the cattell, and herbe for the vse of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth,
- 15. And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oyle to make the face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth mans heart.
- 16. The high trees are satisfied, euen the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
- 17. That ye birdes may make their nestes there: the storke dwelleth in the firre trees.
- 18. The high mountaines are for the goates: the rockes are a refuge for the conies.
- 19. He appoynted the moone for certaine seasons: the sunne knoweth his going downe.
- 20. Thou makest darkenesse, and it is night, wherein all the beastes of the forest creepe forth.
- 21. The lions roare after their praye, and seeke their meate at God.
- 22. When the sunne riseth, they retire, and couche in their dennes.
- 23. Then goeth man forth to his worke, and to his labour vntill the euening.
- 24. O Lord, howe manifolde are thy workes! in wisdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
- 25. So is this sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beastes and great.
- 26. There goe the shippes, yea, that Liuiathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
- 27. All these waite vpon thee, that thou maiest giue them foode in due season.
- 28. Thou giuest it to them, and they gather it: thou openest thine hand, and they are filled with good things.
- 29. But if thou hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they dye and returne to their dust.
- 30. Againe if thou send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renuest the face of the earth.
- 31. Glory be to the Lord for euer: let the Lord reioyce in his workes.
- 32. He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountaines, and they smoke.
- 33. I will sing vnto the Lord all my life: I will prayse my God, while I liue.
- 34. Let my wordes be acceptable vnto him: I will reioyce in the Lord.
- 35. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked till there be no more: O my soule, prayse thou the Lord. Prayse ye the Lord.
