1041Bless Yahweh, my soul.Yahweh, my God, you are very great.You are clothed with honor and majesty.+2He covers himself with light as with a garment.He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.+3He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters.He makes the clouds his chariot.He walks on the wings of the wind.+4He makes his messengers winds;his servants flames of fire.+5He laid the foundations of the earth,that it should not be moved forever.+6You covered it with the deep as with a cloak.The waters stood above the mountains.+7At your rebuke they fled.At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.+8The mountains rose,the valleys sank down,to the place which you had assigned to them.+9You have set a boundary that they may not pass over;that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.+10He sends springs into the valleys.They run among the mountains.+11They give drink to every animal of the field.The wild donkeys quench their thirst.+12The birds of the sky nest by them.They sing among the branches.+13He waters the mountains from his rooms.The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.+14He causes the grass to grow for the livestock,and plants for man to cultivate,that he may produce food out of the earth:+15wine that makes glad the heart of man,oil to make his face to shine,and bread that strengthens man’s heart.+16Yahweh’s trees are well watered,the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;+17where the birds make their nests.The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.+18The high mountains are for the wild goats.The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.+19He appointed the moon for seasons.The sun knows when to set.+20You make darkness, and it is night,in which all the animals of the forest prowl.+21The young lions roar after their prey,and seek their food from God.+22The sun rises, and they steal away,and lay down in their dens.+23Man goes out to his work,to his labor until the evening.+24Yahweh, how many are your works!In wisdom have you made them all.The earth is full of your riches.+25There is the sea, great and wide,in which are innumerable living things,both small and large animals.+26There the ships go,and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.+27These all wait for you,that you may give them their food in due season.+28You give to them; they gather.You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.+29You hide your face: they are troubled;you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.+30You send out your Spirit and they are created.You renew the face of the ground.+31Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever.Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.+32He looks at the earth, and it trembles.He touches the mountains, and they smoke.+33I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.+34Let my meditation be sweet to him.I will rejoice in Yahweh.+35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.Let the wicked be no more.Bless Yahweh, my soul.Praise Yah!+Footnotes (1)
