1 Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great; With honor and with majesty thou clothèd art in state. 2 With light, as with a robe, thyself thou coverest about; And, like unto a curtain, thou the heavens stretchest out.
3 Who of his chambers doth the beams within the waters lay; Who doth the clouds his chariot make, on wings of wind make way. 4 Who flaming fire his ministers, his angels sp'rits, doth make: 5 Who earth's foundätions did lay, that it should never shake.
6 Thou didst it cover with the deep, as with a garment spread: The waters stood above the hills, when thou the word but said. 7 But at the voice of thy rebuke they fled, and would not stay; They at thy thunder's dreadful voice did haste them fast away.
8 They by the mountains do ascend, and by the valley-ground Descend, unto that very place which thou for them didst found. 9 Thou hast a bound unto them set, that they may not pass over, That they do not return again the face of earth to cover.
10 He to the valleys sends the springs, which run among the hills: 11 They to all beasts of field give drink, wild asses drink their fills. 12 By them the fowls of heav'n shall have their habitätion, Which do among the branches sing with delectätion.
13 He from his chambers watereth the hills, when they are dried: With fruit and increase of thy works the earth is satisfied. 14 For cattle he makes grass to grow, he makes the herb to spring For th' use of man, that food to him he from the earth may bring;
15 And wine, that to the heart of man doth cheerfulness impart, Oil that his face makes shine, and bread that strengtheneth his heart. 16 The trees of God are full of sap; the cedars that do stand In Lebanon, which planted were by his almighty hand.
17 Birds of the air upon their boughs do choose their nests to make; As for the stork, the fir-tree she doth for her dwelling take. 18 The lofty mountains for wild goats a place of refuge be; The conies also to the rocks do for their safety flee.
19 He sets the moon in heav'n, thereby the seasons to discern: From him the sun his certain time of going down doth learn. 20 Thou darkness mak'st, 'tis night, then beasts of forests creep abroad. 21 The lions young roar for their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22 The sun doth rise, and home they flock, down in their dens they lie. 23 Man goes to work, his labor he doth to the ev'ning ply. 24 How manifold, Lord, are thy works! in wisdom wonderful Thou ev'ry one of them hast made; earth's of thy riches full:
25 So is this great and spacious sea, wherein things creeping are, Which numbered cannot be; and beasts both great and small are there. 26 There ships go; there thou mak'st to play that leviathan great. 27 These all wait on thee, that thou may'st in due time give them meat.
28 That which thou givest unto them they gather for their food; Thine hand thou open'st lib'rally, they fillèd are with good. 29 Thou hid'st thy face; they troubled are, their breath thou tak'st away; Then do they die, and to their dust return again do they.
30 Thy quick'ning spirit thou send'st forth, then they created be; And then the earth's decayèd face renewèd is by thee. 31 The glory of the mighty Lord continue shall for ever: The Lord JEHOVAH shall rejoice in all his works together.
32 Earth, as affrighted, trembleth all, if he on it but look; And if the mountains he but touch, they presently do smoke. 33 I will sing to the Lord most high, so long as I shall live; And while I being have I shall to my God praises give.
34 Of him my meditation shall sweet thoughts to me afford; And as for me, I will rejoice in God, my only Lord. 35 From earth let sinners be consumed, let ill men no more be. O thou my soul, bless thou the Lord. Praise to the Lord give ye.

BIBLE PASSAGE:
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 his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst 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 They go up by the mountains; they go down by 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 turn not again to cover the earth. 10 ¶ He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. 16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. 19 ¶ He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. 22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. 24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 31 ¶ The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. 32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. 34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. 35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
