O LORD, my God, how great you are! You are clothed with majesty and glory; |
2
|
you cover yourself with light. You have spread out the heavens like a tent |
3
|
and built your home on the waters above. You use the clouds as your chariot and ride on the wings of the wind. |
4
|
You use the winds as your messengers and flashes of lightning as your servants. |
5
|
You have set the earth firmly on its foundations, and it will never be moved. |
6
|
You placed the ocean over it like a robe, and the water covered the mountains. |
7
|
When you rebuked the waters, they fled; they rushed away when they heard your shout of command. |
8
|
They flowed over the mountains and into the valleys, to the place you had made for them. |
9
|
You set a boundary they can never pass, to keep them from covering the earth again. |
10
|
You make springs flow in the valleys, and rivers run between the hills. |
11
|
They provide water for the wild animals; there the wild donkeys quench their thirst. |
12
|
In the trees near by, the birds make their nests and sing. |
13
|
From the sky you send rain on the hills, and the earth is filled with your blessings. |
14
|
You make grass grow for the cattle and plants for us to use, so that we can grow our crops |
15
|
and produce wine to make us happy, olive oil to make us cheerful, and bread to give us strength. |
16
|
The cedars of Lebanon get plenty of rain--- the LORD's own trees, which he planted. |
17
|
There the birds build their nests; the storks nest in the fir trees. |
18
|
The wild goats live in the high mountains, and the rock badgers hide in the cliffs. |
19
|
You created the moon to mark the months; the sun knows the time to set. |
20
|
You made the night, and in the darkness all the wild animals come out. |
21
|
The young lions roar while they hunt, looking for the food that God provides. |
22
|
When the sun rises, they go back and lie down in their dens. |
23
|
Then people go out to do their work and keep working until evening. |
24
|
LORD, you have made so many things! How wisely you made them all! The earth is filled with your creatures. |
25
|
There is the ocean, large and wide, where countless creatures live, large and small alike. |
26
|
The ships sail on it, and in it plays Leviathan, that sea monster which you made. |
27
|
All of them depend on you to give them food when they need it. |
28
|
You give it to them, and they eat it; you provide food, and they are satisfied. |
29
|
When you turn away, they are afraid; when you take away your breath, they die and go back to the dust from which they came. |
30
|
But when you give them breath, they are created; you give new life to the earth. |
31
|
May the glory of the LORD last forever! May the LORD be happy with what he has made! |
32
|
He looks at the earth, and it trembles; he touches the mountains, and they pour out smoke. |
33
|
I will sing to the LORD all my life; as long as I live I will sing praises to my God. |
34
|
May he be pleased with my song, for my gladness comes from him. |
35
|
May sinners be destroyed from the earth; may the wicked be no more. Praise the LORD, my soul! Praise the LORD! |
