¹ For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:	¹ Bless the LORD, my soul! LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory,
² and art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:	² robed in light as with a cloak. You spread out the heavens like a tent;
³ who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.	³ you raised your palace upon the waters. You make the clouds your chariot; you travel on the wings of the wind.
⁴ Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.	⁴ You make the winds your messengers; flaming fire, your ministers.
⁵ Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.	⁵ You fixed the earth on its foundation, never to be moved.
⁶ The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.	⁶ The ocean covered it like a garment; above the mountains stood the waters.
⁷ At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.	⁷ At your roar they took flight; at the sound of your thunder they fled.
⁸ The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.	⁸ They rushed up the mountains, down the valleys to the place you had fixed for them.
⁹ Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.	⁹ You set a limit they cannot pass; never again will they cover the earth.
¹⁰ Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.	¹⁰ You made springs flow into channels that wind among the mountains.
¹¹ All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.	¹¹ They give drink to every beast of the field; here wild asses quench their thirst.
¹² Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.	¹² Beside them the birds of heaven nest; among the branches they sing.
¹³ Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:	¹³ You water the mountains from your palace; by your labor the earth abounds.
¹⁴ Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:	¹⁴ You raise grass for the cattle and plants for our beasts of burden. You bring bread from the earth,
¹⁵ and that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man's heart.	¹⁵ and wine to gladden our hearts, Oil to make our faces gleam, food to build our strength.
¹⁶ The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:	¹⁶ The trees of the LORD drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which you planted.
¹⁷ there the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.	¹⁷ There the birds build their nests; junipers are the home of the stork.
¹⁸ The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.	¹⁸ The high mountains are for wild goats; the rocky cliffs, a refuge for badgers.
¹⁹ He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.	¹⁹ You made the moon to mark the seasons, the sun that knows the hour of its setting.
²⁰ Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:	²⁰ You bring darkness and night falls, then all the beasts of the forest roam abroad.
²¹ The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.	²¹ Young lions roar for prey; they seek their food from God.
²² The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.	²² When the sun rises, they steal away and rest in their dens.
²³ Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.	²³ People go forth to their work, to their labor till evening falls.
²⁴ How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.	²⁴ How varied are your works, LORD! In wisdom you have wrought them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
²⁵ So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great.	²⁵ Look at the sea, great and wide! It teems with countless beings, living things both large and small.
²⁶ There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein.	²⁶ Here ships ply their course; here Leviathan, your creature, plays.
²⁷ All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.	²⁷ All of these look to you to give them food in due time.
²⁸ What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.	²⁸ When you give to them, they gather; when you open your hand, they are well filled.
²⁹ But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.	²⁹ When you hide your face, they are lost. When you take away their breath, they perish and return to the dust from which they came.
³⁰ Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.	³⁰ When you send forth your breath, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.
³¹ May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.	³¹ May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD be glad in these works!
³² He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.	³² If God glares at the earth, it trembles; if God touches the mountains, they smoke!
³³ I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.	³³ I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.
³⁴ Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord.	³⁴ May my theme be pleasing to God; I will rejoice in the LORD.
³⁵ Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord.	³⁵ May sinners vanish from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!
