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