1. Bless the LORD O my soul, O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3. Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4. Who maketh winds his messengers; his ministers a flaming fire:
5. Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved for ever.
6. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.
7. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away;
8. They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10. He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; they run among the mountains:
11. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
12. By them the fowl of the heaven have their habitation, they sing among the branches.
