1. Praise the Lord, my soul!O Lord my God, you are very great.You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2. You cover yourself with light as though it were a robe.You stretch out the heavens as though they were curtains.
3. You lay the beams of your home in the water.You use the clouds for your chariot.You move on the wings of the wind.
4. You make your angels windsand your servants flames of fire.
5. You set the earth on its foundationsso that it can never be shaken.
6. You covered the earth with an ocean as though it were a robe.Water stood above the mountains
7. and fled because of your threat.Water ran away at the sound of your thunder.
8. The mountains rose and the valleys sankto the place you appointed for them.
9. Water cannot cross the boundary you setand cannot come back to cover the earth.
10. You make water gush from springs into valleys.It flows between the mountains.
11. Every wild animal drinks ⌊from them⌋.Wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12. The birds live by the streams.They sing among the branches.
13. You water the mountains from your home above.You fill the earth with the fruits of your labors.
14. You make grass grow for cattleand make vegetables for humans to usein order to get food from the ground.
15. You make wine to cheer human hearts,olive oil to make faces shine,and bread to strengthen human hearts.
16. The Lord’s trees, the cedars in Lebanon which he planted,drink their fill.
