1 - Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2 - The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 - and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 - He makes winds his messengers,
5 - He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
6 - You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7 - But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
8 - they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.
9 - You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.
10 - He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains.
11 - They give water to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 - The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.
13 - He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.
14 - He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate - bringing forth food from the earth:
15 - wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.
16 - The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 - There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers.
18 - The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.
19 - He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
20 - You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21 - The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
22 - The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.
23 - Then people go out to their work, to their labor until evening.
24 - How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25 - There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number - living things both large and small.
26 - There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.
27 - All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time.
28 - When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29 - When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.
30 - When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.
31 - May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works -
32 - he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 - I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 - May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord.
35 - But may sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Praise the Lord, my soul. Praise the Lord.
