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.

In the sweatH2188 of thy faceH639 shalt thou eatH398 breadH3899, tillH5704 thou returnH7725 unto the groundH127; for out of it wast thou takenH3947: for dustH6083 thouH859 art, and unto dustH6083 shalt thou returnH7725.
And, behold, there cameH935 an oldH2205 manH376 from his workH4639 out of the fieldH7704 at evenH6153, which was alsoH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669; and he sojournedH1481 in GibeahH1390: but the menH582 of the placeH4725 were BenjamitesH1145.
The sleepH8142 of a labouring manH5647 is sweetH4966, whether he eatH398 littleH4592 or muchH7235: but the abundanceH7647 of the richH6223 will not sufferH3240 him to sleepH3462.
LetG2813 him that stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let him labourG2872, workingG2038 with his handsG5495 the thing which is goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him that needethG5532+G2192. {to give: or, to distribute}
NeitherG3761 did we eatG5315 any man'sG3844+G5100 breadG740 for noughtG1432; butG235 wroughtG2038 withG1722 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, thatG4314 we mightG1912 notG3361 be chargeableG1912 to anyG5100 of youG5216:
NotG3756 becauseG3754 we haveG2192 notG3756 powerG1849, butG235 toG2443 makeG1325 ourselvesG1438 an ensampleG5179 unto youG5213 toG1519 followG3401 usG2248.
ForG1063 evenG2532 whenG3753 we wereG2258 withG4314 youG5209, thisG5124 we commandedG3853 youG5213, thatG3754 if anyG1536 wouldG2309 notG3756 workG2038, neitherG3366 should he eatG2068.
ForG1063 we hearG191 that there are someG5100 which walkG4043 amongG1722 youG5213 disorderlyG814, workingG2038 not at allG3367, butG235 are busybodiesG4020.
NowG1161 them that are suchG5108 we commandG3853 andG2532 exhortG3870 byG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 withG3326 quietnessG2271 they workG2038, and eatG2068 their ownG1438 breadG740.
