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.

When I considerH7200 thy heavensH8064, the workH4639 of thy fingersH676, the moonH3394 and the starsH3556, which thou hast ordainedH3559;
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The earthH776 is the LORD'SH3068, and the fulnessH4393 thereof; the worldH8398, and they that dwellH3427 therein.
ManyH7227, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, are thy wonderfulH6381 works which thou hast doneH6213, and thy thoughtsH4284 which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderH6186 unto thee: if I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, they are moreH6105 than can be numberedH5608. {they cannot…: or, none can order them unto thee}
And GodH430 sawH7200 every thing thatH834 he had madeH6213, and, behold, it was veryH3966 goodH2896. And the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 were the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
For every beastH2416 of the forestH3293 is mine, and the cattleH929 upon a thousandH505 hillsH2042.
I knowH3045 all the fowlsH5775 of the mountainsH2022: and the wild beastsH2123 of the fieldH7704 are mineH5978. {mine: Heb. with me}
If I were hungryH7456, I would not tellH559 thee: for the worldH8398 is mine, and the fulnessH4393 thereof.
Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
The LORDH3068 by wisdomH2451 hath foundedH3245 the earthH776; by understandingH8394 hath he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064. {established: or, prepared}
Thou crownestH5849 the yearH8141 with thy goodnessH2896; and thy pathsH4570 dropH7491 fatnessH1880. {with: Heb. of}
Thou, even thou, art LORDH3068 alone; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064, the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064, with all their hostH6635, the earthH776, and all things that are therein, the seasH3220, and all that is therein, and thou preservestH2421 them all; and the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 worshippethH7812 thee.
By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 are broken upH1234, and the cloudsH7834 drop downH7491 the dewH2919.
And GodH430 saidH559, Let the earthH776 bring forthH1876 grassH1877, the herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233, and the fruitH6529 treeH6086 yieldingH6213 fruitH6529 after his kindH4327, whoseH834 seedH2233 is in itself, upon the earthH776: and it was so. {grass: Heb. tender grass}
Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 and unsearchableH369+H2714; marvellous thingsH6381 without numberH4557: {unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without…: Heb. till there be no number}
The LORDH3068 possessedH7069 me in the beginningH7225 of his wayH1870, beforeH6924 his worksH4659 of old.
I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. {fields: or, open places} {the highest…: or, the chief part}
When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415: {a compass: or, a circle}
When he establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605: when he strengthenedH5810 the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415:
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117+H3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
Now therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, O ye childrenH1121: for blessedH835 are they that keepH8104 my waysH1870.
HearH8085 instructionH4148, and be wiseH2449, and refuseH6544 it not.
BlessedH835 is the manH120 that hearethH8085 me, watchingH8245 dailyH3117+H3117 at my gatesH1817, waitingH8104 at the postsH4201 of my doorsH6607.
For whoso findethH4672 me findethH4672+H4672 lifeH2416, and shall obtainH6329 favourH7522 of the LORDH3068. {obtain: Heb. bring forth}
But he that sinnethH2398 against me wrongethH2554 his own soulH5315: all they that hateH8130 me loveH157 deathH4194.
And the earthH776 brought forthH3318 grassH1877, and herbH6212 yieldingH2232 seedH2233 after his kindH4327, and the treeH6086 yieldingH6213 fruitH6529, whose seedH2233 was in itself, after his kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.
He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064 by his discretionH8394.
And GodH430 saidH559, Let the earthH776 bring forthH3318 the livingH2416 creatureH5315 after his kindH4327, cattleH929, and creeping thingH7431, and beastH2416 of the earthH776 after his kindH4327: and it was so.
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
And GodH430 madeH6213 the beastH2416 of the earthH776 after his kindH4327, and cattleH929 after their kindH4327, and every thing that creepethH7431 upon the earthH127 after his kindH4327: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
ChargeG3853 them that are richG4145 inG1722 thisG3568 worldG165, that they beG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, norG3366 trustG1679 inG1909 uncertainG83 richesG4149, butG235 inG1722 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3588 givethG3930 usG2254 richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 toG1519 enjoyG619; {uncertain…: Gr. uncertainty of riches}
