¹ Bless Jehovah, O my soul! O Jehovah my God, You are very great; You have put on honor and majesty,² covering Yourself with light like a cloak, and stretching out the heavens like a curtain;³ who lays beams in the waters of His upper rooms; setting thick clouds as His chariots; walking on the wings of the wind.⁴ He makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flaming fire.⁵ He founded the earth on its foundations; it shall not be shaken forever and ever.⁶ You have covered the deep as with a robe; the waters stood above the mountains.⁷ From Your rebuke, they flee; from the sound of Your thunder, they hurry away.⁸ They go up the mountains; they go down the valleys to the place which You founded for them.⁹ You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; they shall not return to cover the earth.

¹⁰ He sends springs into the valleys; they flow between the hills;¹¹ they give drink to every animal of the field; wild asses break their thirst;¹² over them the birds of the heavens dwell; they give voice from between the branches.¹³ He waters the hills from His upper rooms; the earth is satisfied from the fruit of Your works.¹⁴ He causes the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for the service of man, to bring food out of the earth.¹⁵ And wine cheers the heart of man; oil makes his face shine, and bread sustains the heart of man.¹⁶ The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted;¹⁷ there where the birds nest; the fir trees are the house of the stork;¹⁸ high hills are for the wild goats; rocks are a refuge for the badgers.

¹⁹ He made the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down.²⁰ You put darkness, and it is night; in it all the forest animals creep.²¹ The young lions roar for prey, and to seek their food from God.²² The sun rises; they are gathered, and go to their dens to lie down.²³ Man goes out to his work, and to his labor until the evening.²⁴ O Jehovah, how many are Your works! You have made all of them in wisdom; the earth is full of Your riches.²⁵ This is the sea, great and wide on both hands; there are creeping things even without number; living things, small and great.²⁶ There the ships go; You formed this great sea-animal to play in it.²⁷ All of them wait for You to give them their food in due season.²⁸ You give to them; they gather; You open Your hand, and they are filled with good.²⁹ You hide Your face, and they are troubled; You gather their breath, and they expire and return to their dust.³⁰ You send out Your Spirit, and they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.

³¹ The glory of Jehovah shall be forever; Jehovah shall rejoice in His works.³² He looks to the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke.³³ I will sing to Jehovah during my life; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.³⁴ My thoughts on Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in Jehovah.³⁵ Let sinners be consumed out of the earth and let the wicked be no more; bless Jehovah, O my soul; praise Jehovah!
