O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty. ^1 2 Who coverest _thyself_ with light as _with_ a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: ^2 3 Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind: ^3 4 Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: ^4 5 _Who_ laid the foundations of the earth, _that_ it should not be removed for ever. ^5 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as _with_ a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. ^6 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. ^7 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. ^8 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. ^9 10 He sends the springs into the valleys, _which_ run among the hills. ^10 11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. ^11 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, _which_ sing among the branches. ^12 13 He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. ^13 14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; ^14 15 And wine _that_ makes glad the heart of man, _and_ oil to make _his_ face to shine, and bread _which_ strengthens man's heart. ^15 16 The trees of the LORD are full _of_ _sap;_ the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted; ^16 17 Where the birds make their nests: _as_ _for_ the stork, the fir trees _are_ her house. ^17 18 The high hills _are_ a refuge for the wild goats; _and_ the rocks for the conies. ^18 19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down. ^19 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep _forth_. ^20 21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. ^21 22 The sun arises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. ^22 23 Man goes forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening. ^23 24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. ^24 25 _So_ _is_ this great and wide sea, wherein _are_ things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. ^25 26 There go the ships: _there_ _is_ that leviathan, _whom_ thou hast made to play therein. ^26 27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give _them_ their meat in due season. ^27 28 _That_ thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. ^28 29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. ^29 30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. ^30 31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. ^31 32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke. ^32 33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. ^33 34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. ^34 35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. ^35
