| 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; |
| |
| 15: And 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. |
