1. Barachi (bless) Hashem, O my nefesh. Hashem Elohai, Thou art gadol me'od; Thou art clothed with hod (honor) and hadar (majesty).
2. Who coverest Thyself with ohr (light) as with a garment; Who stretchest out Shomayim like a tent (curtain);
3. Who layeth the beams of His aliyyot (upper rooms) on the mayim; Who maketh the clouds His merkavah; Who walketh upon the wings of the ruach (wind);
4. Who maketh ruchot (spirits, winds) His malachim; His mesharetim (ministers), flaming eish;
5. Who laid the mekhonim (foundations) of ha'aretz, that it should not move out of place olam va'ed.
6. Thou coveredst it with the tehom (deep) as with a garment; the mayim stood above the harim (mountains).
7. At Thy ga'arah (rebuke) they fled; at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away.
8. They go up by the harim (mountains); they go down by the beka'ot (valleys) unto the makom (place) which Thou hast assigned for them.
