| 1 | Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
| |
| 2 | He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
| |
| 3 | He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
| |
| 4 | He makes his messengers winds; His servants flames of fire.
| |
| 5 | He laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved forever.
| |
| 6 | You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
| |
| 7 | At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
| |
| 8 | The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them.
| |
| 9 | You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don't turn again to cover the earth.
| |
| 10 | He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
| |
| 11 | They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
| |
| 12 | The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
| |
| 13 | He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
| |
| 14 | He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for man to cultivate, That he may bring forth food out of the earth:
| |
| 15 | Wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengthens man's heart.
| |
| 16 | Yahweh's trees are well watered, The cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
| |
| 17 | Where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.
| |
| 18 | The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
| |
| 19 | He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
| |
| 20 | You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl.
| |
| 21 | The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.
| |
| 22 | The sun rises, and they steal away, And lay down in their dens.
| |
| 23 | Man goes forth to his work, To his labor until the evening.
| |
| 24 | Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
| |
| 25 | There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable living things, Both small and great animals.
| |
| 26 | There the ships go, And leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
| |
| 27 | These all wait for you, That you may give them their food in due season.
| |
| 28 | You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
| |
| 29 | You hide your face: they are troubled; You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.
| |
| 30 | You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
| |
| 31 | Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
| |
| 32 | He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
| |
| 33 | I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
| |
| 34 | Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
| |
| 35 | Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah! Psalm 105
