1Bless the Lord, O my soul.

O Lord my God, you are very great.

You are clothed with honor and majesty,*

2wrapped in light as with a garment.

You stretch out the heavens like a tent;*

3you set the beams of yourr chambers on the waters;

you make the clouds yours chariot;

you ride on the wings of the wind;*

4you make the winds yourt messengers,

fire and flame youru ministers.*

5You set the earth on its foundations,

so that it shall never be shaken.*

6You cover it with the deep as with a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.*

7At your rebuke they flee;

at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.

8They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys,

to the place that you appointed for them.*

9You set a boundary that they may not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.*

10You make springs gush forth in the valleys;

they flow between the hills,*

11giving drink to every wild animal;

the wild asses quench their thirst.*

12By the streamsv the birds of the air have their habitation;

they sing among the branches.*

13From your lofty abode you water the mountains;

the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.*

14You cause the grass to grow for the cattle

and plants for people to cultivate,

to bring forth food from the earth*

15and wine to gladden the human heart,

oil to make the face shine

and bread to strengthen the human heart.*

16The trees of the fieldw are watered abundantly,

the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17In them the birds build their nests;

the stork has its home in the fir trees.

18The high mountains are for the wild goats;

the rocks are a refuge for the coneys.*

19You have made the moon to mark the seasons;

the sun knows its time for setting.*

20You make darkness, and it is night,

when all the animals of the forest come creeping out.*

21The young lions roar for their prey,

seeking their food from God.*

22When the sun rises, they withdraw

and lie down in their dens.

23People go out to their work

and to their labor until the evening.*

24O Lord, how manifold are your works!

In wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.*

25There is the sea, great and wide;

creeping things innumerable are there,

living things both small and great.

26There go the ships

and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.*

27These all look to you

to give them their food in due season;*

28when you give to them, they gather it up;

when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

29When you hide your face, they are dismayed;

when you take away their breath, they die

and return to their dust.*

30When you send forth your spirit,x they are created,

and you renew the face of the ground.*

31May the glory of the Lord endure forever;

may the Lord rejoice in his works—*

32who looks on the earth and it trembles,

who touches the mountains and they smoke.*

33I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;

I will sing praise to my God while I have being.*

34May my meditation be pleasing to him,

for I rejoice in the Lord.

35Let sinners be consumed from the earth,

and let the wicked be no more.

Bless the Lord, O my soul.

Praise the Lord!*
