1. Bless the Lord, O my soul!O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
2. covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.
3. He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;he makes the clouds his chariot;he rides on the wings of the wind;
4. he makes his messengers winds,his ministers a flaming fire.
5. He set the earth on its foundations,so that it should never be moved.
6. You covered it with the deep as with a garment;the waters stood above the mountains.
7. At your rebuke they fled;at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.
8. The mountains rose, the valleys sank downto the place that you appointed for them.
9. You set a boundary that they may not pass,so that they might not again cover the earth.
10. You make springs gush forth in the valleys;they flow between the hills;
11. they 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.
