1Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

4He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers.

5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

9You set a boundary that they may not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

16The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

16The trees of the LORD drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,

17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

17Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the fir trees.

18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

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

25There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great.

26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

26There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

27These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

27They all wait for You To give them their food in due season.

28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

28You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
