1041Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.+2Covering himself with light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,+3Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,+4Making His messengers--the winds, His ministers--the flaming fire.+5He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.+6The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.+7From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.+8They go up hills--they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.+9A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.+10Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.+11They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.+12By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.+13Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.+14Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,+15And wine--it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread--the heart of man it supporteth.+16Satisfied are the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon that He hath planted,+17Where birds do make nests, The stork--the firs are her house.+18The high hills are for wild goats, Rocks are a refuge for conies,+19He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his place of entrance.+20Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every beast of the forest creep.+21The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.+22The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they crouch.+23Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service--till evening.+24How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.+25This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There are moving things--innumerable, Living creatures--small with great.+26There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to play in it.+27All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its season.+28Thou dost give to them--they gather, Thou dost open Thy hand--they are satisfied with good.+29Thou hidest Thy face--they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit--they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.+30Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.+31The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,+32Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.+33I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.+34Sweet is my meditation on Him, I--I do rejoice in Jehovah.+35Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah!+
