1Bless Yahweh, O my soul.
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
4Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;
5Who laid the foundations of the earth,
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.
7At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away
8(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down)
9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.
10He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;
11They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
13He watereth the mountains from his chambers:
14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,
16The trees of Yahweh are filled [with moisture],
17Where the birds make their nests:
18The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19He appointed the moon for seasons:
20Thou makest darkness, and it is night,
21The young lions roar after their prey,
22The sun ariseth, they get them away,
23Man goeth forth unto his work
24O Yahweh, how manifold are thy works!
25Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
26There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.
27These wait all for thee,
28Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die,
30Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.
31Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever; Let Yahweh rejoice in his works:
32Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33I will sing unto Yahweh as long as I live:
34Let thy meditation be sweet unto him:
35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.
