O Lord my God, thou art very great;
thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
² Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:
who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
³ who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:
who maketh the clouds his chariot:
who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
⁴ who maketh his angels spirits;
his ministers a flaming fire:
⁵ who laid the foundations of the earth,
that it should not be removed for ever.

⁶ Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:
the waters stood above the mountains.
⁷ At thy rebuke they fled;
at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
⁸ They go up by the mountains;
they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
⁹ Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
that they turn not again to cover the earth.

¹⁰ He sendeth the springs into the valleys,
which run among the hills.
¹¹ They give drink to every beast of the field:
the wild asses quench their thirst.
¹² By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
which sing among the branches.
¹³ He watereth the hills from his chambers:
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
¹⁴ He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
and herb for the service of man:
that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
¹⁵ and wine that maketh glad the heart of man,
and oil to make his face to shine,
and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

¹⁶ The trees of the Lord are full of sap;
the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
¹⁷ where the birds make their nests:
as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
¹⁸ The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats;
and the rocks for the conies.
¹⁹ He appointed the moon for seasons:
the sun knoweth his going down.
²⁰ Thou makest darkness, and it is night:
wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
²¹ The young lions roar after their prey,
and seek their meat from God.
²² The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together,
and lay them down in their dens.
²³ Man goeth forth unto his work
and to his labour until the evening.

²⁴ O Lord, how manifold are thy works!
in wisdom hast thou made them all:
the earth is full of thy riches.
²⁵ So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable,
both small and great beasts.
²⁶ There go the ships:
there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
²⁷ These wait all upon thee;
that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
²⁸ That thou givest them they gather:
thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
²⁹ Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:
thou takest away their breath, they die,
and return to their dust.
³⁰ Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:
and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹ The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever:
the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
³² He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:
he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
³³ I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live:
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
³⁴ My meditation of him shall be sweet:
I will be glad in the Lord.
³⁵ Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth,
and let the wicked be no more.

Bless thou the Lord, O my soul.
Praise ye the Lord.
