My soul, praise the Lord! Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with glory and honor. |
2
|
You wear light like a robe. You spread out the skies like a curtain. |
3
|
You built your home above them. You use the thick clouds like a chariot and ride across the sky on the wings of the wind. |
4
|
You make the winds your messengers and flames of fire your servants. |
5
|
You built the earth on its foundations, so it can never be moved. |
6
|
You covered it with water like a blanket. The water covered even the mountains. |
7
|
But you gave the command, and the water turned back. You shouted at the water, and it rushed away. |
8
|
The water flowed down from the mountains into the valleys, to the places you made for it. |
9
|
You set the limits for the seas, and the water will never again rise to cover the earth. |
10
|
Lord, you cause water to flow from springs into the streams that flow down between the mountains. |
11
|
The streams provide water for all the wild animals. Even the wild donkeys come there to drink. |
12
|
Wild birds come to live by the pools; they sing in the branches of nearby trees. |
13
|
You send rain down on the mountains. The earth gets everything it needs from what you have made. |
14
|
You make the grass grow to feed the animals. You provide plants for the crops we grow—the plants that give us food from the earth. |
15
|
You give us the wine that makes us happy, the oil that makes our skin soft, and the food that makes us strong. |
16
|
The great cedar trees of Lebanon belong to the Lord. He planted them and gives them the water they need. |
17
|
That's where the birds make their nests, and the storks live in the fir trees. |
18
|
The high mountains are a home for wild goats. The large rocks are hiding places for rock badgers. |
19
|
Lord, you made the moon to show us when the festivals begin. And the sun always knows when to set. |
20
|
You made darkness to be the night— the time when wild animals come out and roam around. |
21
|
Lions roar as they attack, as if they are asking God for the food he gives them. |
22
|
When the sun rises, they leave and go back to their dens to rest. |
23
|
Then people go out to do their work, and they work until evening. |
24
|
Lord, you created so many things! With your wisdom you made them all. The earth is full of the living things you made. |
25
|
Look at the ocean, so big and wide! It is filled with all kinds of sea life. There are creatures large and small— too many to count! |
26
|
Ships sail over the ocean, and playing there is Leviathan, the great sea creature you made. |
27
|
Lord, all living things depend on you. You give them food at the right time. |
28
|
You give it, and they eat it. They are filled with good food from your open hands. |
29
|
When you turn away from them, they become frightened. When you take away their breath, they die, and their bodies return to the dust. |
30
|
But when you send out your lifegiving breath, things come alive, and the world is like new again! |
31
|
May the Lord's glory continue forever! May the Lord enjoy what he made. |
32
|
He just looks at the earth, and it trembles. He just touches the mountains, and smoke rises from them. |
33
|
I will sing to the Lord for the rest of my life. I will sing praises to my God as long as I live. |
34
|
May my words be pleasing to him. The Lord is the one who makes me happy. |
35
|
I wish sinners would disappear from the earth. I wish the wicked would be gone forever. My soul, praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! |
