* Bless the LORD , O my soul ! O LORD my God , You are very great : You are clothed with honor and majesty , * Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment , Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain . * He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters , Who makes the clouds His chariot , Who walks on the wings of the wind , * Who makes His angels spirits , His ministers a flame of fire . * You who laid the foundations of the earth , So that it should not be moved forever , * You covered it with the deep as with a garment ; The waters stood above the mountains . * At Your rebuke they fled ; At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away . * They went up over the mountains ; They went down into the valleys , To the place which You founded for them . * You have set a boundary that they may not pass over , That they may not return to cover the earth . * He sends the springs into the valleys ; They flow among the hills . * They give drink to every beast of the field ; The wild donkeys quench their thirst . * By them the birds of the heavens have their home ; They sing among the branches . * He waters the hills from His upper chambers ; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works . * He causes the grass to grow for the cattle , And vegetation for the service of man , That he may bring forth food from the earth , * And wine that makes glad the heart of man , Oil to make his face shine , And bread which strengthens man 's heart . * The trees of the LORD are full of sap , The cedars of Lebanon which He planted , * Where the birds make their nests ; The stork has her home in the fir trees . * The high hills are for the wild goats ; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers . * He appointed the moon for seasons ; The sun knows its going down . * You make darkness , and it is night , In which all the beasts of the forest creep about . * The young lions roar after their prey , And seek their food from God . * When the sun rises , they gather together And lie down in their dens . * Man goes out to his work And to his labor until the evening . * O LORD , how manifold are Your works ! In wisdom You have made them all . The earth is full of Your possessions -- * This great and wide sea , In which are innumerable teeming things , Living things both small and great . * There the ships sail about ; There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there . * These all wait for You , That You may give them their food in due season . * What You give them they gather in ; You open Your hand , they are filled with good . * You hide Your face , they are troubled ; You take away their breath , they die and return to their dust . * You send forth Your Spirit , they are created ; And You renew the face of the earth . * May the glory of the LORD endure forever ; May the LORD rejoice in His works . * He looks on the earth , and it trembles ; He touches the hills , and they smoke . * I will sing to the LORD as long as I live ; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being . * May my meditation be sweet to Him ; I will be glad in the LORD . * May sinners be consumed from the earth , And the wicked be no more . Bless the LORD , O my soul ! Praise the LORD !
