1 Bless Yahweh, my soul.

Yahweh, my God, you are very great.

You are clothed with honor and majesty.

2 He covers himself with light as with a garment.

He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

3 He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters.

He makes the clouds his chariot.

He walks on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes his messengers winds,

and his servants flames of fire.

5 He laid the foundations of the earth,

that it should not be moved forever.

6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak.

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they fled.

At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

8 The mountains rose,

the valleys sank down,

to the place which you had assigned to them.

9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,

that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

10 He sends springs into the valleys.

They run among the mountains.

11 They give drink to every animal of the field.

The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky nest by them.

They sing among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from his rooms.

The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock,

and plants for man to cultivate,

that he may produce food out of the earth:

15 wine that makes the heart of man glad,

oil to make his face to shine,

and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

16 Yahweh’s trees are well watered,

the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

17 where the birds make their nests.

The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats.

The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons.

The sun knows when to set.

20 You make darkness, and it is night,

in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

21 The young lions roar after their prey,

and seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, and they steal away,

and lie down in their dens.

23 Man goes out to his work,

to his labor until the evening.

24 Yahweh, how many are your works!

In wisdom, you have made them all.

The earth is full of your riches.

25 There is the sea, great and wide,

in which are innumerable living things,

both small and large animals.

26 There the ships go,

and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

27 These all wait for you,

that you may give them their food in due season.

28 You give to them; they gather.

You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

29 You hide your face; they are troubled.

You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

30 You send out your Spirit and they are created.

You renew the face of the ground.

31 Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever.

Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles.

He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.

I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

34 Let my meditation be sweet to him.

I will rejoice in Yahweh.

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.

Let the wicked be no more.

Bless Yahweh, my soul.

Praise Yah!

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty,

2 who dost cover [thyself] with light as [with] a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain,

3 who dost establish his chambers between the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,

4 who makes his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire,

5 [who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be moved by any age.

6 Thou didst cover 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 The mountains were exposed; they descended through 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 not turn again to cover the earth.

10 [Thou art] he who sends the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the mountains.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.

12 Next to them the fowls of the heavens have their habitation; [they] sing among the leaves.

13 He waters the mountains from his chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causes the hay to grow for the cattle and grass for the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth

15 and wine [that] makes glad the heart of man, making [his] face to shine with oil and bread [which] sustains man's heart.

16 The trees of the LORD are satisfied; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

17 that the birds may make their nests there: the stork makes her house [among] the fir trees.

18 The high mountains [are] a refuge for the wild goats, [and] the rocks for the conies.

19 He appointed the moon for times [and seasons]; the sun knows his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest move.

21 The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God.

22 The sun arises, they withdraw and lay themselves down in their dens.

23 Man goes forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom thou hast made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.

25 [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships; [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou didst make to play therein.

27 These wait all upon thee, that thou may give [them] their food in due season.

28 Thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their spirit, they cease to exist and return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31 Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works.

32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34 My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the LORD.

35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Halelu- JAH ([Praise ye the LORD]).:
