Revision as of 08:24, 19 July 2010

• 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. 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.
