## The Glory of Yahweh Endures Forever 

###### 1
Bless Yahweh, O my soul! O Yahweh my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, 

###### 2
Wrapping Yourself with light as with a cloak, Stretching out the heavens like a _tent_ curtain. 

###### 3
He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He sets up the clouds _to be_ His chariot; He walks upon the wings of the wind; 

###### 4
He makes His angels the winds, His ministers flaming fire. 

###### 5
He founded the earth upon its place, So that it will not shake forever and ever. 

###### 6
You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains. 

###### 7
At Your rebuke they fled, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away in alarm. 

###### 8
The mountains went up; the valleys went down To the place which You founded for them. 

###### 9
You set a boundary that they may not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth. 

###### 10
He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains; 

###### 11
They give water to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. 

###### 12
Above them the birds of the heavens dwell; They give forth _their_ voices among the branches. 

###### 13
He gives water to the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works. 

###### 14
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for man's cultivation, To bring forth food from the earth, 

###### 15
And wine which makes man's heart glad, To make _his_ face glisten more than oil, And food which sustains man's heart. 

###### 16
The trees of Yahweh are satisfied, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, 

###### 17
Where the birds build their nests, The stork's home is in the fir trees. 

###### 18
The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim. 

###### 19
He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting. 

###### 20
You appoint darkness so that it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest creep about. 

###### 21
The young lions roar _to go_ after their prey And to seek their food from God. 

###### 22
_When_ the sun rises they gather together And lie down in their dens. 

###### 23
Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening. 

###### 24
How numerous are Your works, O Yahweh! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions. 

###### 25
This is the sea, great and broad, There _the_ creeping things are without number, Creatures both small and great. 

###### 26
There the ships move along, _And_ Leviathan, which You have formed to play in it. 

###### 27
They all wait for You To give them their food in due season. 

###### 28
You give to them, they gather _it_ up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good. 

###### 29
You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their spirit, they breathe their last And return to their dust. 

###### 30
You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground. 

###### 31
Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever; Let Yahweh be glad in His works; 

###### 32
He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 

###### 33
I will sing to Yahweh throughout my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have _my_ being. 

###### 34
Let my musing be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in Yahweh. 

###### 35
Let sinners be consumed from the earth And let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, O my soul. Praise Yah!
