1. Let my whole being bless the Lord!Lord my God, how fantastic you are!You are clothed in glory and grandeur!
2. You wear light like a robe;you open the skies like a curtain.
3. You build your lofty house on the waters;you make the clouds your chariot,going around on the wings of the wind.
4. You make the winds your messengers;you make fire and flame your ministers.
5. You established the earth on its foundationsso that it will never ever fall.
6. You covered it with the watery deep like a piece of clothing;the waters were higher than the mountains!
7. But at your rebuke they ran away;they fled in fear at the sound of your thunder.
8. They flowed over the mountains,streaming down the valleysto the place you established for them.
9. You set a boundary they cannot crossso they’ll never again cover the earth.
10. You put gushing springs into dry riverbeds.They flow between the mountains,
11. providing water for every wild animal—the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12. Overhead, the birds in the sky make their home,chirping loudly in the trees.
13. From your lofty house, you water the mountains.The earth is filled full by the fruit of what you’ve done.
14. You make grass grow for cattle;you make plants for human farmingin order to get food from the ground,
15. and wine, which cheers people’s hearts,along with oil, which makes the face shine,and bread, which sustains the human heart.
16. The Lord’s trees are well watered—the cedars of Lebanon, which God planted,
