1For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
1Bless the LORD, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—
3Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
3He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases,
4Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.
4who redeems your life from the Pit and crowns you with loving devotion and compassion,
5Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
5who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.
6The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
7He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
8The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.
8The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
9Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.
9He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
10Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
11All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.
12Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
13As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
14Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:
14For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
15And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
15As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;
16The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:
16when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
17There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.
17But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—
18The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
18to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
19He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
19The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
20Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
20Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command.
21The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.
21Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.
22The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.
22Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
23Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.
