¹Bless the Lord, O my being;

O Lord my God, you are very great.

You are clothed in majesty and splendour.

²You put on a covering of light like a garment;

You stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

³He who carpenters his upper rooms in the waters,

Who makes thick clouds his chariot,

Who moves around on the wings of the wind,

⁵Is he who founded the earth on its bases

So that it will not totter,

Age-abidingly and in perpetuity.

⁶As for the deep, you have covered it as with a garment;

Waters stand over mountains.

⁷They flee at your rebuke;

At the sound of your thunder,

They hasten away.

⁸They go up mountains;

They go down valleys,

To the place where you laid a foundation for them.

⁹You have set a boundary

Which they shall not cross;

They will not again cover the earth.

¹⁰You send source water into streams

Which run between the mountains.

¹¹They provide drink for all wildlife;

Wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹²Due to them,

The birds of the sky have a habitat;

They utter their call from among the branches.

¹³He waters the mountains from his upper rooms;

The earth is satiated with the fruit of your works.

¹⁴He makes grass grow for cattle,

And herbage for the benefit of man,

So that he can extract food from the earth,

¹⁵And wine which cheers the heart of men,

And products from oil to make the face shine,

And food which supports man's heart.

¹⁶The Lord's trees are satiated

– The cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

¹⁷Where the birds nestle.

As for the stork,

The cypresses are its home.

¹⁸The high mountains are home to the mountain goats;

The rocks are a refuge to the rock hyrax.

¹⁹He made the moon for the purpose of set times;

The sun knows its time to set.

²⁰You appoint darkness

And it becomes night-time.

In it all the life of the forest crawls around.

²¹Lions roar for prey

And in seeking their food from God.

²²When the sun rises,

They withdraw

And lie down in their dens.

²³Man goes out to his work

And to his occupation until evening.

²⁴How great are your deeds, O Lord!

You have performed them all in wisdom.

The earth is full of your property.

²⁵This is the sea,

Great, and as wide as outstretched arms.

In it there is immeasurable creeping life

– Animals great and small.

²⁶There, ships make voyages;

Leviathan is there,

Which you fashioned to play in it.

²⁷They all look to you

To give them their food in its time.

²⁸You provide for them,

And they glean it.

You open your hand,

And they become satiated with goodness.

²⁹When you hide your face,

They are alarmed.

When you gather up their spirit,

They expire

And return to their dust.

³⁰When you send out your spirit,

They are created,

And you renew the face of the ground.

³¹May the glory of the Lord be age-abiding;

The Lord rejoices in his works.

³²When he looks at the earth,

It trembles;

When he strikes mountains,

They emit smoke.

³³I will sing to the Lord

While I live;

I will make psalm melody to my God

As long as I exist.

³⁴My meditation about him will be pleasant;

I will rejoice in the Lord.

³⁵Sinners will be eliminated from the land,

And as for the wicked,

There will no longer be any of them.

O my being, bless the Lord.

Praise the Lord.
