Praise the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are magnificent. You are robed in splendor and majesty. |
2
|
He covers himself with light as if it were a garment. He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain, |
3
|
and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds. He makes the clouds his chariot, and travels along on the wings of the wind. |
4
|
He makes the winds his messengers, and the flaming fire his attendant. |
5
|
He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be upended. |
6
|
The watery deep covered it like a garment; the waters reached above the mountains. |
7
|
Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off— |
8
|
as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down— to the place you appointed for them. |
9
|
You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again. |
10
|
He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains. |
11
|
They provide water for all the animals in the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. |
12
|
The birds of the sky live beside them; they chirp among the bushes. |
13
|
He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. |
14
|
He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground, |
15
|
as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people's lives. |
16
|
The trees of the LORD receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted, |
17
|
where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live. |
18
|
The wild goats live in the high mountains; the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs. |
19
|
He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule. |
20
|
You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around. |
21
|
The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. |
22
|
When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens. |
23
|
Men then go out to do their work, and labor away until evening. |
24
|
How many living things you have made, O LORD! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made. |
25
|
Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large. |
26
|
The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it. |
27
|
All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis. |
28
|
You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food. |
29
|
When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life's breath, they die and return to dust. |
30
|
When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground. |
31
|
May the splendor of the LORD endure! May the LORD find pleasure in the living things he has made! |
32
|
He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder. |
33
|
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist! |
34
|
May my thoughts be pleasing to him! I will rejoice in the LORD. |
35
|
May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish! Praise the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD! |
