- 1. ¶ BLESS the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great: thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
- 2. Thou coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain,
- 3. Who layest the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds his chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind,
- 4. Who makest his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire,
- 5. Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
- 6. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
- 7. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.
- 8. The mountains ascend, the valleys descend to the place which thou hast founded for them.
- 9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over, to cover the earth.
- 10. ¶ Thou hast sent the springs to the valleys, which run among the hills.
- 11. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
- 12. By them the fowls of the heaven have their habitation; from among the hills they sing.
- 13. He waters the hills from his chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
- 14. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,
- 15. And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart.
- 16. The trees of the LORD are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
- 17. There the birds make their nests; as for the stork, her house is in the cypress.
- 18. The high mountains are a refuge for the wild goats, and the rocks a refuge for the conies.
- 19. ¶ He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
- 20. He makes darkness and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
- 21. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
- 22. The sun rises; they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
- 23. Man goes forth to his work and to his labour until the evening.
- 24. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.
- 25. Behold this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, creatures both small and great.
- 26. On it sail the ships; there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
- 27. These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them their food in due season.
- 28. With what thou givest them they are filled; thou openest thine hand, they are satisfied.
- 29. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
- 30. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
- 31. ¶ The glory of the LORD endures for ever; the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
- 32. He looks on the earth, and it trembles; he rebukes the hills, 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 praise be acceptable to him; I will be glad in the LORD.
- 35. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD.
