1. Bless Adonai, O my soul. Adonai my God, You are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty—
2. wrapping Yourself in light as a robe, stretching out heaven like a curtain,
3. laying beams for His upper rooms in waters, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind,
4. making His angels spirits, His servants a flaming fire.
5. He set the earth upon its foundations, so it should not totter forever and ever.
6. You covered it with the deep as with a garment—the waters standing above the mountains.
7. At Your rebuke the waters fled. At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
8. The waters go up the mountains, then down to the valleys— to the place that You assigned to them.
9. You set a boundary to the waters that they may not cross over, so they may not return to cover the earth.
10. You make springs gush into the valleys. They run between the mountains.
11. They give drink to all the beasts of the field— the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12. Beside them the birds of the sky dwell— they sing among the branches.
13. He waters mountains from His upper rooms. The earth is full of the fruit of Your labors.
14. He causes grass to spring up for the cattle, and vegetation for man to cultivate, to bring forth bread out of the earth,
15. wine that makes man’s heart glad, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains man’s heart.
