¹Bless Yahvah, my soul. Yahvah my god, you are very great: you are clothed with honor and majesty.
²You cover yourself with light as with a garment; who stretches out the skies like a curtain,
³who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks on the wings of the wind,
⁴who makes his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire,
⁵who laid the foundations of the land, that forever it should not be removed.
⁶You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
⁷At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
⁸The mountains ascend, the valleys descend to the place which you have founded for them.
⁹You have set a bound that they may not pass over, to cover the land.

¹⁰You have sent the springs to the valleys, which run among the hills.
¹¹They give drink to every animal of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
¹²By them, the birds of the skies have their habitation; from among the hills, they sing.
¹³He waters the hills from his chambers; the land is satisfied with the fruit of your works.

¹⁴He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the land,
¹⁵and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.

¹⁶The trees of Yahvah are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
¹⁷there, the birds make their nests; as for the stork, her house is in the cypress.
¹⁸The high mountains are a refuge for the wild goats, and the rocks a refuge for the conies.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
²⁰He makes darkness and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest creep forth.
²¹The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from god.
²²The sun rises; they gather themselves together, and then lay down in their dens.
²³Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening.

²⁴Yahvah, how manifold are your works. In wisdom, you have made them all; the land is full of your riches.
²⁵Look, this great and wide sea, in which are things creeping innumerable, creatures both small and great.
²⁶On it sail the ships; there is that Leviathan, whom you have made to play there.

²⁷These all wait on you, that you may give them their food in due season.
²⁸With what you give them, they are filled; you open your hand, they are satisfied.
²⁹You hide your face, they are troubled; you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
³⁰You send forth your spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the land.

³¹The glory of Yahvah endures forever; Yahvah will rejoice in his works.
³²He looks on the land, and it trembles; he rebukes the hills, and they smoke.
³³I will sing to Yahvah as long as I live; I will sing praise to my god while I have my being.
³⁴Let my praise be acceptable to him; I will be glad in Yahvah.
³⁵Let sinners be consumed out of the land, and let the wicked not be anymore. Bless Yahvah, my soul. Praise Yahvah.
