|
|
|
|
###### 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!
