1 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.
2 You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:
3 The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:
4 He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.
5 He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;
6 Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;
7 At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;
8 The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.
9 You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.
10 You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water.
12 The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches.
13 He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works.
14 He makes the grass come up for the cattle, and plants for the use of man; so that bread may come out of the earth;
15 And wine to make glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shining, and bread giving strength to his heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are full of growth, the cedars of Lebanon of his planting;
17 Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house.
18 The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts.
19 He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down.
20 When you make it dark, it is night, when all the beasts of the woods come quietly out of their secret places.
21 The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.
22 The sun comes up, and they come together, and go back to their secret places to take their rest.
23 Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening.
24 O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made.
25 There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered.
26 There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything.
27 All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.
28 They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.
29 If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust.
30 If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.
31 Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:
32 At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke.
33 I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
34 Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord.
35 Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.
1 我的心哪！ 你要称颂耶和华； 耶和华我的 神啊！ 你真伟大； 你以尊荣和威严为衣服。
2 你披上亮光好像披上外袍； 展开诸天好像铺张帐幔。
3 你在水上立起你楼阁的栋梁； 你以云彩为战车； 乘驾风的翅膀而行。
4 你用风作你的使者， 用火焰作你的仆役。
5 你把大地坚立在根基上， 使地永永远远不动摇。
6 你用深水像衣服一般覆盖大地， 使众水高过群山。
7 因你的斥责， 水就退去； 因你的雷声， 水就奔逃。
8 众水流经群山， 向下流往众谷， 流到你为它们指定的地方。
9 你定了界限， 使众水不能越过； 它们不再转回掩盖大地。
10 你使泉源在山谷中涌流， 流经群山中间。
11 使野地所有的走兽有水喝， 野驴得以解渴。
12 天上的飞鸟在水边住宿， 在树枝上鸣叫。
13 你从自己的楼阁中浇灌群山， 因你所作的事的果效， 大地就丰足。
14 你为了牲畜使青草滋生， 为了人的需用使蔬菜生长， 使粮食从地里生出；
15 又有酒使人心欢喜， 有油使人容光焕发， 有粮加添人的心力。
16 耶和华的树， 就是他所栽种的黎巴嫩香柏树， 都得到了充分的灌溉。
17 雀鸟在上面筑巢； 至于鹤， 松树是它的家。
18 高山是野山羊的住所； 岩石是石獾藏身的地方。
19 你造月亮为定节令； 太阳知道何时沉落。
20 你安设黑暗， 有了晚上， 林中的百兽就都爬出来。
21 少壮狮子吼叫觅食， 要寻求从 神而来的食物。
22 太阳升起的时候， 它们就躲避， 回到自己的洞穴躺卧。
23 人出去作工， 劳碌直到晚上。
24 耶和华啊！ 你所造的真是众多。它们都是你用智慧造成的； 全地充满你所造的东西。
25 那里有海， 又大又广； 海里有无数的活物， 大小活物都有。
26 那里有船只往来航行， 有你所造的大鱼， 在海里嬉戏。
27 这些活物都仰望你， 仰望你按时赐给它们食物。
28 你赐给它们， 它们就拾取； 你张开你的手， 它们就饱享美物。
29 你向它们掩面， 它们就惊慌； 你收回它们的气息， 它们就死亡， 归回尘土。
30 你发出你的灵， 万物就被造成； 你也使地面更换一新。
31 愿耶和华的荣耀存到永远； 愿耶和华喜悦他自己所作的。
32 他注视大地， 地就震动； 他触摸群山， 山就冒烟。
33 我一生要向耶和华歌唱； 我还在世的时候， 我要向我的 神歌颂。
34 愿我的默想蒙他喜悦； 我要因耶和华欢喜。
35 愿罪人从世上灭绝， 也不再有恶人存在。我的心哪！ 你要称颂耶和华。你们要赞美耶和华。
