Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thou dost cause the grass to grow for the cattle ,
and plants for man to cultivate ,
that he may bring forth food from the earth ,
*
and wine to gladden the heart of man ,
oil to make his face shine ,
and bread to strengthen man '
s heart .
*
The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly ,
the cedars of Lebanon which he planted .
*
In them the birds build their nests ;
the stork has her home in the fir trees .
*
The high mountains are for the wild goats ;
the rocks are a refuge for the badgers .
*
Thou hast made the moon to mark the seasons ;
the sun knows its time for setting .
*
Thou makest darkness ,
and it is night ,
when all the beasts of the forest creep forth .
*
The young lions roar for their prey ,
seeking their food from God .
*
When the sun rises ,
they get them away and lie down in their dens .
*
Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening .
*
O LORD ,
how manifold are thy works !
In wisdom hast thou made them all ;
the earth is full of thy creatures .
*
Yonder is the sea ,
great and wide ,
which teems with things innumerable ,
living things both small and great .
*
There go the ships ,
and Leviathan which thou didst form to sport in it .
*
These all look to thee ,
to give them their food in due season .
*
When thou givest to them ,
they gather it up ;
when thou openest thy hand ,
they are filled with good things .
*
When thou hidest thy face ,
they are dismayed ;
when thou takest away their breath ,
they die and return to their dust .
*
When thou sendest forth thy Spirit ,
they are created ;
and thou renewest the face of the ground .
*
May the glory of the LORD endure for ever ,
may the LORD rejoice in his works ,
*
who looks on the earth and it trembles ,
who touches the mountains and they smoke !
*
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live ;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being .
*
May my meditation be pleasing to him ,
for I rejoice in the LORD .
*
Let sinners be consumed from the earth ,
and let the wicked be no more !
Bless the LORD ,
O my soul !
Praise the LORD !
