ASV
Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:
2
ASV
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
3
ASV
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
4
ASV
Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;
5
ASV
Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.
6
ASV
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.
7
ASV
At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away
8
ASV
(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
9
ASV
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.
10
ASV
He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;
11
ASV
They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.
12
ASV
By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
13
ASV
He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
14
ASV
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,
15
ASV
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, [And] oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.
16
ASV
The trees of Jehovah are filled [with moisture], The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17
ASV
Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.
18
ASV
The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19
ASV
He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down.
20
ASV
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
21
ASV
The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.
22
ASV
The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.
23
ASV
Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening.
24
ASV
O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches.
25
ASV
Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.
26
ASV
There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein.
27
ASV
These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.
28
ASV
Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
29
ASV
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.
30
ASV
Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground.
31
ASV
Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works:
32
ASV
Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33
ASV
I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34
ASV
Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.
35
ASV
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.
