¹ Bless the LORD, O my soul. ² Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;³ Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, ⁴ Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers.⁵ Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever;⁶ Thou didst cover 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 down--unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them;⁹ Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, that they might not return to cover the earth.

¹⁰ Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between the mountains;¹¹ They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst.¹² Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.¹³ Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; the earth is full of the fruit of Thy works.¹⁴ Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; ¹⁵ And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, ¹⁶ The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;¹⁷ Wherein 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 rocks are a refuge for the conies.

¹⁹ Who appointedst 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 food from God.²² The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch in their dens.²³ Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.²⁴ How manifold are Thy works, O LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; ²⁵ Yonder sea, great and wide, ²⁶ There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein.²⁷ All of them wait for Thee, that Thou mayest give them their food in due season.²⁸ Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good.²⁹ Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; ³⁰ Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹ May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in His works!³² Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, 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 any being.³⁴ Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD.³⁵ Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. {N}Hallelujah.
