O Lord My God, You Are Very Great
1 Ps. 103:1,2,22Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, you are See 2 Sam. 7:22very great!
Ps. 93:1;Job 40:10;[Job 37:22]You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
2 covering yourself with light as with a garment,
See Job 9:8stretching out the heavens Isa. 40:22like a tent.
3 He Amos 9:6lays the beams of his ver. 13chambers on the waters;
he makes Isa. 19:1the clouds his chariot;
he rides on Ps. 18:10;2 Sam. 22:11the wings of the wind;
4 he Cited Heb. 1:7;[Ps. 148:8] makes his messengers winds,
his Ps. 103:21ministers [2 Kgs. 1:10;2:11]a flaming fire.
5 He Ps. 24:2;89:11;136:6;See Job 38:4set the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.
6 You Gen. 7:19covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At Ps. 18:15;[Ps. 106:9;Gen. 1:9;8:1,5;Matt. 8:26] your rebuke they fled;
at Ps. 77:18the sound of your thunder they Ps. 48:5took to flight.
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down
to the place that you [Job 38:8,10,11]appointed for them.
9 You set See Job 26:10a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they See Gen. 9:11-16might not again cover the earth.
10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills;
11 they [ver. 13]give drink to every beast of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
they sing among the branches.
13 ver. 3From your lofty abode you [Ps. 65:9;147:8;Deut. 11:11;Job 5:10;Jer. 10:13;14:22]water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
14 You cause Ps. 147:8,9the grass to grow for the livestock
and Gen. 1:11,29,30;3:18;9:3plants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth Job 28:5;[Ps. 136:25;147:9]food from the earth
15 and Judg. 9:13;Eccles. 10:19;[Prov. 31:6,7] wine to gladden the heart of man,
[Ps. 23:5;Judg. 9:9] oil to make his face shine
and bread to [Gen. 18:5]strengthen man’s heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
See Judg. 9:15the cedars of Lebanon [Num. 24:6]that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for See Job 39:1the wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for Lev. 11:5;Prov. 30:26the rock badgers.
19 He made the moon to mark the Gen. 1:14;Lev. 23:4seasons;104:19 Or the appointed times (compare Genesis 1:14)
the sun knows its time for setting.
20 Isa. 45:7You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forest creep about.
21 Job 38:39The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they steal away
and lie down in their Job 37:8dens.
23 [Gen. 3:19]Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until the evening.
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In Prov. 3:19wisdom have you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Here is the sea, great and wide,
Ps. 69:34which teems with creatures innumerable,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and See Job 41:1Leviathan, which you formed to [Job 40:20]play in it.104:26 Or you formed to play with
27 These Ps. 145:15all look to you,
to [ver. 14]; See Job 36:31give them their food in due season.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you Ps. 145:16open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you Ps. 30:7;[Deut. 31:17] hide your face, they are Job 23:15dismayed;
when you See Job 34:14take away their breath, they die
and See Job 10:9return to their dust.
30 When you See Job 33:4send forth your Spirit,104:30 Or breath they are created,
and you [Rev. 21:5]renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the LordPs. 72:17endure forever;
may the Lord[Gen. 1:31;Prov. 8:31]rejoice in his works,
32 who looks on the earth and it [Hab. 3:10] trembles,
who Ps. 144:5;Ex. 19:18;[Amos 9:5]touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 I will sing to the LordSee Ps. 63:4as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my Job 15:4meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let See Ps. 37:38sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more!
See ver. 1Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Ps. 105:45;106:48;113:9;150:6Praise the Lord!
