✧1Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty: ✧2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain; ✧3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind; ✧4Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers; ✧5Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever. ✧6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains. ✧7At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away ✧8(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
