1Let all that I am praise the LORD. O LORD my God, how great you are! You are robed with honor and majesty.1Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;2He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent,
3you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.3laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.
4The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.4He makes the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.
5You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.5He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.
6You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.6You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.7At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—
8Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.8the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them—
9Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.9You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.
10You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.10He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.
11They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.11They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.12The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches.
13You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.13He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.
14You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth—14He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:
15wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin, and bread to give them strength.15wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
16The trees of the LORD are well cared for— the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.16The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,
17There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.17where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.
18High in the mountains live the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.18The high mountains are for the wild goats, the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.
19You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.19He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.
20You send the darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about.20You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21Then the young lions roar for their prey, stalking the food provided by God.21The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
22At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.22The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.
23Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.23Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening.
24O LORD, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.24How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.
25Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every kind, both large and small.25Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small.
26See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.26There the ships pass, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.
27They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.27All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.
28When you supply it, they gather it. You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied.28When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
29But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.29When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
30When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.30When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
31May the glory of the LORD continue forever! The LORD takes pleasure in all he has made!31May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.
32The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch.32He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.
33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath!33I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.34May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
35Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth; let the wicked disappear forever. Let all that I am praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!35May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!
