International Standard VersionKing James Bible
1Bless the LORD, my soul; LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed in splendor and majesty;1Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2you are wrapped in light like a garment, stretching out the sky like a curtain.2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3He lays the beams of his roof loft on the water above, making clouds his chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4He makes the winds his messengers, blazing fires his servants.4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5He established the earth on its foundations, so that it never falters.5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6You covered the primeval ocean like a garment; the water stood above the mountains.6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7They flee at your rebuke; they rush away at the sound of your thunders.7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8Mountains rise up and valleys sink to the place you have ordained for them.8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9You have set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never again cover the earth.9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10He causes springs to gush forth into rivers that flow between the mountains.10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11They give water for animals of the field to drink; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.11They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12Birds of the sky live beside them and chirp a song among the foliage.12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13He waters the mountains from his heavenly rooms; the earth is satisfied from the fruit of your work.13He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14He causes grass to sprout for the cattle and plants for people to cultivate, to produce food from the land,14He 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;
15like wine that makes the heart of people happy, oil that makes the face glow, and food that sustains people. 15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
16The loftiest trees are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted,16The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17the birds build their nests there, and the heron builds its nest among the evergreen.17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18The high mountains are for wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badger.18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19He made the moon to mark time; the sun knows its setting time.19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20You bring darkness and it becomes night; when every beast of the forest prowls.20Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21Young lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God.21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22When the sun rises, they gather and lie down in their dens.22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23People go out to their work and labor until evening.23Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24How numerous are your works, LORD! You have made them all wisely; the earth is filled with your creations. 24O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25There is the deep and wide sea, teeming with numberless creatures, living things small and great.25So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26There, the ships pass through; Leviathan, which you created, frolics in it.26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27All of them look to you to provide them their food at the proper time.27These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
28They receive what you give them; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29When you withdraw your favor, they are disappointed; Take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30When you send your spirit, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the earth.30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31May the glory of the LORD last forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works!31The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32He looks at the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they smoke.32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33I will sing to the LORD with my whole being; I will sing to my God continually!33I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34May my thoughts be pleasing to him; indeed, I will rejoice in the LORD!34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35May sinners disappear from the land and the wicked live no longer. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
