The Book of Psalms

Bless Jehovah, O my soul! O Jehovah my God, You are very great; You have put on honor and majesty,

covering Yourself [with] light like a cloak, and stretching out the heavens like a curtain;

who lays beams in the waters [of] His upper rooms; setting thick clouds [as] His chariots; walking on the wings of the wind.

He makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flaming fire.

He founded the earth on its foundations; it shall not be shaken forever and ever.

You have covered the deep as with a robe; the waters stood above the mountains.

From Your rebuke, they flee; from the sound of Your thunder, they hurry away.

They go up the mountains; they go down the valleys to the place which You founded for them.

You have set a boundary they may not pass over; they shall not return to cover the earth.

[He] sends springs into the valleys; they flow between the hills;

they give drink to every animal of the field; wild asses break their thirst;

over them the birds of the heavens dwell; they give voice from between the branches.

[He] waters the hills from His upper rooms; the earth is satisfied from the fruit of Your works.

[He] causes the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for the service of man, to bring food out of the earth.

And wine cheers the heart of man; oil makes [his] face shine, and bread sustains the heart of man.

The trees of Jehovah [are] satisfied the cedars of Lebanon that He planted;

there where the birds nest; the fir trees [are] the house of the stork;

high hills [are] for the wild goats; rocks [are] a refuge for the badgers.

He made the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down.

You put darkness, and it is night; in it all the forest animals creep.

The young lions roar for prey, and to seek their food from God.

The sun rises; they are gathered, and go to their dens to lie down.

Man goes out to his work, and to his labor until the evening.

O Jehovah, how many are Your works! You have made all of them in wisdom; the earth is full of Your riches.

This [is] the sea, great and wide on both hands; there [are] creeping things even without number; living things, small and great.

There the ships go; You formed this great sea-animal to play in it.

All of them wait for You to give [them] their food in due season.

You give to them; they gather; You open Your hand, [and] they are filled with good.

You hide Your face, and they [are] troubled; You gather their breath, [and] they expire and return to their dust.

You send out Your Spirit, [and] they are created; and You renew the face of the earth.

The glory of Jehovah shall be forever; Jehovah shall rejoice in His works.

He looks to the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke.

I will sing to Jehovah during my life; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.

My thoughts on Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in Jehovah.

Let sinners perish from the earth and let the wicked be no more; bless Jehovah, O my soul; praise Jehovah!
