1 Bless the Lord, O my soul. ♦︎
O Lord my God, how excellent is your greatness!
2 You are clothed with majesty and honour, ♦︎
wrapped in light as in a garment.
6 You laid the foundations of the earth, ♦︎
that it never should move at any time.
7 You covered it with the deep like a garment; ♦︎
the waters stood high above the hills.
8 At your rebuke they fled; ♦︎
at the voice of your thunder they hastened away.
9 They rose up to the hills and flowed down to the valleys beneath, ♦︎
to the place which you had appointed for them.
10 You have set them their bounds that they should not pass, ♦︎
nor turn again to cover the earth.
11 You send the springs into the brooks, ♦︎
which run among the hills.
12 They give drink to every beast of the field, ♦︎
and the wild asses quench their thirst.
13 Beside them the birds of the air make their nests ♦︎
and sing among the branches.
26 O Lord, how manifold are your works! ♦︎
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
