Bible Reading Plan

¹ My soul, praise Yahweh!
Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with majesty and splendor.^(a)
2 He wraps Himself in light as if it were a robe,
spreading out the sky like a canopy,^(b)
3 laying the beams of His palace
on the waters above,^(c)
making the clouds His chariot,^(d)
walking on the wings of the wind,^(e)
4 and making the winds His messengers,^[a]
flames of fire His servants.^(f)

⁵ He established the earth on its foundations;
it will never be shaken.^(g)
6 You covered it with the deep
as if it were a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.^(h)
7 At Your rebuke the waters fled;
at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away⁽ⁱ⁾—
⁸ mountains rose and valleys sank^[b]—
to the place You established for them.^(j)
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;
they will never cover the earth again.^(k)

¹⁰ He causes the springs to gush into the valleys;
they flow between the mountains.^(l)
11 They supply water for every wild beast;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.^(m)
12 The birds of the sky live beside the springs;
they sing among the foliage.^(n)
13 He waters the mountains from His palace;
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.^(o)

¹⁴ He causes grass to grow for the livestock
and provides crops for man to cultivate,
producing food from the earth,^(p)
15 wine that makes man's heart glad—
making his face shine with oil—
and bread that sustains man's heart.^(q)

¹⁶ The trees of the Lord flourish,^[c]
the cedars of Lebanon that He planted.^(r)
17 There the birds make their nests;
the stork makes its home in the pine trees.^(s)
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;
the cliffs are a refuge for hyraxes.^(t)

¹⁹ He made the moon to mark the^[d] festivals;^[e]
the sun knows when to set.^(u)
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night,
when all the forest animals stir.^(v)
21 The young lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.^(w)
22 The sun rises; they go back
and lie down in their dens.^(x)
23 Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until evening.^(y)

²⁴ How countless are Your works, Lord !
In wisdom You have made them all;
the earth is full of Your creatures.^[f](z)
25 Here is the sea, vast and wide,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.^(aa)
26 There the ships move about,
and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.^(ab)

²⁷ All of them wait for You
to give them their food at the right time.^(ac)
28 When You give it to them,
they gather it;
when You open Your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.^(ad)
29 When You hide Your face,
they are terrified;
when You take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.^(ae)
30 When You send Your breath,^[g]
they are created,
and You renew the face of the earth.^(af)

³¹ May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in His works.^(ag)
32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the mountains,
and they pour out smoke.^(ah)
33 I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God while I live.^(ai)
34 May my meditation be pleasing to Him;
I will rejoice in the Lord .^(aj)
35 May sinners vanish from the earth
and wicked people be no more.^(ak)
My soul, praise Yahweh!
Hallelujah!
