1My soul, praise thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glory and honor.
2Which covereth himself with light, as with a garment, and spreadeth the heavens like a curtain.
3Which layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the clouds his chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind.
4Which maketh the spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
5He set the earth upon her foundations, so that it shall never move.
6Thou coverest it with the deep as with a garment: the waters would stand above the mountains.
7But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voice of thy thunder they haste away.
8And the mountains ascend, and the valleys descend to the place which thou hast established for them.
9But thou hast set them a bound which they shall not pass: they shall not return to cover the earth.
10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run between the mountains.
11They shall give drink to all the beasts of the field, and the wild asses shall quench their thirst.
12By these springs shall the fowls of the heaven dwell, and sing among the branches.
13He watereth the mountains from his chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
14He causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the use of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth,
15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.
16The high trees are satisfied, even the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
17That the birds may make their nests there: the stork dwelleth in the fir trees.
18The high mountains are for the goats: the rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19He appointed the moon for certain seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
21The lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat at God.
22When the sun riseth, they retire, and couch in their dens.
23Then goeth man forth to his work, and to his labor until the evening.
24O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25So is the sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beasts and great.
26There go the ships, yea that Leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27All these wait upon thee, that thou mayest give them food in due season.
28Thou givest it to them, and they gather it, thou openest thy hand, and they are filled with good things.
29But if thou hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they die and return to their dust:
30Again if thou send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31Glory be to the Lord forever: let the Lord rejoice in his works.
32He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33I will sing unto the Lord all my life: I will praise my God, while I live.
34Let my words be acceptable unto him: I will rejoice in the Lord.
35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked till there be no more: O my soul, praise thou the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
