1. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty,
2. who dost cover thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain,
3. who dost establish his chambers between the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,
4. who makes his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire,
5. who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved by any age.
6. Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8. The mountains were exposed; they descended through the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over, that they not turn again to cover the earth.
