1. For David himself.Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
2. and art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
3. who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
4. Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.
5. Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
6. The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.
7. At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
8. The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.
9. Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.
10. Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
11. All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
12. Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
