1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. |
2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: |
3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: |
4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: |
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. |
6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. |
7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. |
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. |
9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. |
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. |
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. |
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. |
13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. |
14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; |
15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. |
