1. Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God,thou art exceeding great;With honour and with majestythou clothed art in state.
2. With light, as with a robe, thyselfthou coverest about;And, like unto a curtain, thouthe heavens stretchest out.
3. Who of his chambers doth the beamswithin the waters lay;Who doth the clouds his chariot make,on wings of wind make way.
4. Who flaming fire his ministers,his angels sp'rits, doth make:
5. Who earth's foundations did lay,that it should never shake.
6. Thou didst it cover with the deep,as with a garment spread:The waters stood above the hills,when thou the word but said.
7. But at the voice of thy rebukethey fled, and would not stay;They at thy thunder's dreadful voicedid haste them fast away.
