| 1 | Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. | |
| 2 | He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent | |
| 3 | and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. | |
| 4 | He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. | |
| 5 | He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. | |
| 6 | You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. | |
| 7 | But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; | |
| 8 | they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. | |
| 9 | You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth. | |
| 10 | He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. | |
| 11 | They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. | |
| 12 | The birds of the air nest by the waters; they sing among the branches. | |
| 13 | He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work. | |
| 14 | He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate--bringing forth food from the earth: | |
| 15 | wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart. | |
| 16 | The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. | |
| 17 | There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the pine trees. | |
| 18 | The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the coneys. | |
| 19 | The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down. | |
| 20 | You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl. | |
| 21 | The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. | |
| 22 | The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens. | |
| 23 | Then man goes out to his work, to his labor until evening. | |
| 24 | How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. | |
| 25 | There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number--living things both large and small. | |
| 26 | There the ships go to and fro, and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there. | |
| 27 | These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time. | |
| 28 | When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. | |
| 29 | When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. | |
| 30 | When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth. | |
| 31 | May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works-- | |
| 32 | he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke. | |
| 33 | I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. | |
| 34 | May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD. | |
| 35 | But may sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD. | |
