- 1. Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;
- 2. Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; --
- 3. Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who maketh clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
- 4. Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.
- 5. He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.
- 6. Thou hadst covered 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, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; --
- 9. Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
- 10. He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;
- 11. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
- 12. The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.
- 13. He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
- 14. He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,
- 15. And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making [his] face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart.
- 16. The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
- 17. Where 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 cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.
- 19. He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.
- 20. Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth:
- 21. The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from �God.
- 22. The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens.
- 23. Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.
- 24. How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
- 25. Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.
- 26. There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.
- 27. These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:
- 28. That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
- 29. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire 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 Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.
- 32. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
- 33. I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.
- 34. My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.
- 35. Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!
