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