BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315. O LORDH3068 my GodH430, thou art veryH3966 greatH1431; thou art clothedH3847 with honourH1935 and majestyH1926.
Who coverestH5844 thyself with lightH216 as with a garmentH8008: who stretchest outH5186 the heavensH8064 like a curtainH3407:
Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307:
Who makethH6213 his angelsH4397 spiritsH7307; his ministersH8334 a flamingH3857 fireH784:
Who laidH3245 the foundationsH4349 of the earthH776, that it should not be removedH4131 for everH5769+H5703. {Who…: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases}
Thou coveredstH3680 it with the deepH8415 as with a garmentH3830: the watersH4325 stoodH5975 above the mountainsH2022.
AtH4480 thy rebukeH1606 they fledH5127; at the voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 they hastedH2648 away.
They go upH5927 by the mountainsH2022; they go downH3381 by the valleysH1237 unto the placeH4725 whichH2088 thou hast foundedH3245 for them. {They go up…: or, The mountains ascend, the valleys descend}
Thou hast setH7760 a boundH1366 that they may not pass overH5674; that they turn not againH7725 to coverH3680 the earthH776.
He sendethH7971 the springsH4599 into the valleysH5158, which runH1980 among the hillsH2022. {He: Heb. Who} {run: Heb. walk}
They give drinkH8248 to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704: the wild assesH6501 quenchH7665 their thirstH6772. {quench: Heb. break}
By them shall the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 have their habitationH7931, which singH5414+H6963 amongH996 the branchesH6073. {sing: Heb. give a voice}
He waterethH8248 the hillsH2022 from his chambersH5944: the earthH776 is satisfiedH7646 with the fruitH6529 of thy worksH4639.
He causeth the grassH2682 to growH6779 for the cattleH929, and herbH6212 for the serviceH5656 of manH120: that he may bring forthH3318 foodH3899 out of the earthH776;
And wineH3196 that maketh gladH8055 the heartH3824 of manH582, and oilH8081 to make his faceH6440 to shineH6670, and breadH3899 which strengthenethH5582 man'sH582 heartH3824. {oil…: Heb. to make his face shine with oil, or, more than oil}
The treesH6086 of the LORDH3068 are fullH7646 of sap; the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, which he hath plantedH5193;
Where the birdsH6833 make their nestsH7077: as for the storkH2624, the fir treesH1265 are her houseH1004.
The highH1364 hillsH2022 are a refugeH4268 for the wild goatsH3277; and the rocksH5553 for the coniesH8227.
He appointedH6213 the moonH3394 for seasonsH4150: the sunH8121 knowethH3045 his going downH3996.
Thou makestH7896 darknessH2822, and it is nightH3915: wherein all the beastsH2416 of the forestH3293 do creepH7430 forth. {beasts…: Heb. beasts thereof do trample on the forest}
The young lionsH3715 roarH7580 after their preyH2964, and seekH1245 their meatH400 from GodH410.
The sunH8121 arisethH2224, they gather themselves togetherH622, and lay them downH7257 in their densH4585.
ManH120 goeth forthH3318 unto his workH6467 and to his labourH5656 until the eveningH6153.
O LORDH3068, how manifoldH7231 are thy worksH4639! in wisdomH2451 hast thou madeH6213 them all: the earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy richesH7075.
So is this greatH1419 and wideH7342+H3027 seaH3220, wherein are things creepingH7431 innumerableH4557, both smallH6996 and greatH1419 beastsH2416.
There goH1980 the shipsH591: there is that leviathanH3882, whom thou hast madeH3335 to playH7832 therein. {made: Heb. formed}
These waitH7663 all upon thee; that thou mayest giveH5414 them their meatH400 in due seasonH6256.
That thou givestH5414 them they gatherH3950: thou openestH6605 thine handH3027, they are filledH7646 with goodH2896.
Thou hidestH5641 thy faceH6440, they are troubledH926: thou takest awayH622 their breathH7307, they dieH1478, and returnH7725 to their dustH6083.
Thou sendestH7971 forth thy spiritH7307, they are createdH1254: and thou renewestH2318 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
The gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall endure for everH5769: the LORDH3068 shall rejoiceH8055 in his worksH4639. {endure: Heb. be}
He lookethH5027 on the earthH776, and it tremblethH7460: he touchethH5060 the hillsH2022, and they smokeH6225.
I will singH7891 unto the LORDH3068 as long as I liveH2416: I will singH2167 praise to my GodH430 while I have my beingH5750.
My meditationH7879 of him shall be sweetH6149: I will be gladH8055 in the LORDH3068.
Let the sinnersH2400 be consumedH8552 out of the earthH776, and let the wickedH7563 be no more. BlessH1288 thou the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.

The young lionsH3715 do lackH7326, and suffer hungerH7456: but they that seekH1875 the LORDH3068 shall not wantH2637 any goodH2896 thing.
Wilt thou huntH6679 the preyH2964 for the lionH3833? or fillH4390 the appetiteH2416 of the young lionsH3715, {the appetite: Heb. the life}
Who providethH3559 for the ravenH6158 his foodH6718? when his young onesH3206 cryH7768 unto GodH410, they wanderH8582 for lackH1097 of meatH400.
For thus hath the LORDH3068 spokenH559 unto me, Like as the lionH738 and the young lionH3715 roaringH1897 on his preyH2964, when a multitudeH4393 of shepherdsH7462 is called forthH7121 against him, he will not be afraidH2865 of their voiceH6963, nor abaseH6031 himself for the noiseH1995 of them: so shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 come downH3381 to fightH6633 for mountH2022 ZionH6726, and for the hillH1389 thereof. {noise: or, multitude}
How do the beastsH929 groanH584! the herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 are perplexedH943, because they have no pastureH4829; yea, the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 are made desolateH816.
And sayH559, What is thy motherH517? A lionessH3833: she lay downH7257 among lionsH738, she nourishedH7235 her whelpsH1482 amongH8432 young lionsH3715.
And she brought upH5927 oneH259 of her whelpsH1482: it became a young lionH3715, and it learnedH3925 to catchH2963 the preyH2964; it devouredH398 menH120.
The nationsH1471 also heardH8085 of him; he was takenH8610 in their pitH7845, and they broughtH935 him with chainsH2397 unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Now when she sawH7200 that she had waitedH3176, and her hopeH8615 was lostH6, then she tookH3947 anotherH259 of her whelpsH1482, and madeH7760 him a young lionH3715.
And he went up and downH1980 amongH8432 the lionsH738, he became a young lionH3715, and learnedH3925 to catchH2963 the preyH2964, and devouredH398 menH120.
And he knewH3045 their desolate palacesH490, and he laid wasteH2717 their citiesH5892; and the landH776 was desolateH3456, and the fulnessH4393 thereof, by the noiseH6963 of his roaringH7581. {their desolate…: or, their widows} {the fulness…: or, all it containeth}
Then the nationsH1471 setH5414 against him on every sideH5439 from the provincesH4082, and spreadH6566 their netH7568 over him: he was takenH8610 in their pitH7845.
And they putH5414 him in wardH5474 in chainsH2397, and broughtH935 him to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: they broughtH935 him into holdsH4685, that his voiceH6963 should no more be heardH8085 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. {in chains: or, in hooks}
Thy motherH517 is like a vineH1612 in thy bloodH1818+H1818, plantedH8362 by the watersH4325: she was fruitfulH6509 and full of branchesH6058 by reason of manyH7227 watersH4325. {in…: or, in thy quietness, or, in thy likeness}
And she had strongH5797 rodsH4294 for the sceptresH7626 of them that bare ruleH4910, and her statureH6967 was exaltedH1361 among the thick branchesH5688, and she appearedH7200 in her heightH1363 with the multitudeH7230 of her branchesH1808.
But she was plucked upH5428 in furyH2534, she was cast downH7993 to the groundH776, and the eastH6921 windH7307 dried upH3001 her fruitH6529: her strongH5797 rodsH4294 were brokenH6561 and witheredH3001; the fireH784 consumedH398 them.
And now she is plantedH8362 in the wildernessH4057, in a dryH6723 and thirstyH6772 groundH776.
And fireH784 is gone outH3318 of a rodH4294 of her branchesH905, which hath devouredH398 her fruitH6529, so that she hath no strongH5797 rodH4294 to be a sceptreH7626 to ruleH4910. This is a lamentationH7015, and shall be for a lamentationH7015.
The beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 cryH6165 also unto thee: for the riversH650 of watersH4325 are dried upH3001, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
