Bless the LORD , O my soul - ! O LORD my God , You are very great ; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
| LXX |
He wraps Himself in light as (with) a garment ; He stretches out the heavens like a tent ,
| LXX |
laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above , making the clouds His chariot , walking on the wings of the wind.
| LXX |
He makes the winds His messengers , flames of fire His servants.
| LXX |
He set the earth on its foundations , never ... ... to be moved.
| LXX |
You covered it with the deep like a garment ; the waters stood above the mountains.
| LXX |
At Your rebuke the waters fled ; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away —
| LXX |
the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place ... You assigned
| LXX |
You set a boundary they cannot cross , that they may never again cover the earth.
| LXX |
He sends forth springs in the valleys ; they flow between the mountains.
| LXX |
They give drink to every beast of the field ; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
| LXX |
The birds of the air nest beside the springs ; they sing ... among the branches.
| LXX |
He waters the mountains from His chambers ; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.
| LXX |
He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate , bringing forth food from the earth :
| LXX |
wine that gladdens the heart of man , oil that makes his face to shine , and bread that sustains (his) heart.
| LXX |
The trees of the LORD have their fill , the cedars of Lebanon that He planted ,
| LXX |
where the birds build their nests ; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.
| LXX |
The high mountains are for the wild goats , the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.
| LXX |
He made the moon to Mark - the seasons ; the sun knows when to set.
| LXX |
You bring darkness , and it becomes night when all the beasts of the forest prowl.
| LXX |
The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
| LXX |
The sun rises , and they withdraw ; they lie down in their dens.
| LXX |
Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening.
| LXX |
How many are Your works , O LORD ! In wisdom You have made them all ; the earth is full of Your creatures.
| LXX |
Here is the sea , vast and wide ... , ... teeming with creatures beyond number ... , living things both great and small.
| LXX |
There the ships pass , and Leviathan , which You formed to frolic
| LXX |
All (creatures) look to You to give (them) their food in due season.
| LXX |
When You give it they gather it up ; when You open Your hand , they are satisfied with good things.
| LXX |
When You hide Your face , they are terrified ; when You take away their breath , they die and return to dust.
| LXX |
When You send Your Spirit , they are created , and You renew the face of the earth.
| LXX |
May the glory of the LORD endure forever ; may the LORD rejoice in His works.
| LXX |
He looks on the earth , and it trembles ; He touches the mountains , and they smolder.
| LXX |
I will sing to the LORD all my life ; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
| LXX |
May my meditation be pleasing to Him , for I rejoice in the LORD.
| LXX |
May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD , O my soul -. Hallelujah ... !
