¹ Bless the LORD, O my soul.
O LORD my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty:
² Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:
Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
³ Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:
Who maketh the clouds his chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
⁴ Who maketh 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 hasted away.
⁸ They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys
Unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
⁹ Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
That they turn not again to cover the earth.

¹⁰ He sendeth the springs into 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 shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
Which sing among the branches.
¹³ He watereth the hills from his chambers:
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
¹⁴ He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
And herb for the service of man:
That he may bring forth food out of the earth; 15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,
And oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
¹⁶ The trees of the LORD are full of sap;
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 hills are a refuge for the wild goats;
And the rocks for the conies.

¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons:
The sun knoweth his going down.
²⁰ Thou makest darkness, and it is night:
Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
²¹ The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their meat from God.
²² The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together,
And lay them down in their dens.
²³ Man goeth forth unto 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 So is this great and wide sea,
Wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
²⁶ There go 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 meat in due season.
²⁸ That thou givest them they gather:
Thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
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 shall endure for ever:
The LORD shall rejoice in his works.
³² He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:
He toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
³³ I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live:
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
³⁴ My meditation of him shall be sweet:
I will be glad in the LORD.

³⁵ Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more.
Bless thou the LORD, O my soul.

Praise ye the LORD.
