- 1. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
- 2. Covering himself `with' light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
- 3. Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
- 4. Making His messengers -- the winds, His ministers -- the flaming fire.
- 5. He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.
- 6. The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
- 7. From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
- 8. They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.
- 9. A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.
- 10. Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.
- 11. They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.
- 12. By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.
- 13. Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.
- 14. Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,
- 15. And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.
- 16. Satisfied `are' the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,
- 17. Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs `are' her house.
- 18. The high hills `are' for wild goats, Rocks `are' a refuge for conies,
- 19. He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.
- 20. Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.
- 21. The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.
- 22. The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.
- 23. Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.
- 24. How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
- 25. This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There `are' moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with great.
- 26. There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.
- 27. All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.
- 28. Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand -- they `are' satisfied `with' good.
- 29. Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.
- 30. Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.
- 31. The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,
- 32. Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.
- 33. I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
- 34. Sweet is my meditation on Him, I -- I do rejoice in Jehovah.
- 35. Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!
