Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. |
|
|
|
2
|
Who coverest with light as 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, it should not be removed for ever. |
|
|
|
6
|
Thou coveredst it with the deep as 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, 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, 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 maketh glad the heart of man, oil to make face to shine, and bread strengtheneth man's heart. |
|
|
|
16
|
The trees of the LORD are full ; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; |
|
|
|
17
|
Where the birds make their nests: the stork, the fir trees her house. |
|
|
|
18
|
The high hills a refuge for the wild goats; 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 . |
|
|
|
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 things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. |
|
|
|
26
|
There go the ships: that leviathan, thou hast made to play therein. |
|
|
|
27
|
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give 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. |
