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.

They that go downH3381 to the seaH3220 in shipsH591, that doH6213 businessH4399 in greatH7227 watersH4325;
Thou brakestH7533 the headsH7218 of leviathanH3882 in pieces, and gavestH5414 him to be meatH3978 to the peopleH5971 inhabiting the wildernessH6728.
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220; and he shall be for an havenH2348 of shipsH591; and his borderH3411 shall be unto ZidonH6721.
Let them curseH5344 it that curseH779 the dayH3117, who are readyH6264 to raise upH5782 their mourningH3882. {their…: or, leviathan}
Canst thou draw outH4900 leviathanH3882 with an hookH2443? or his tongueH3956 with a cordH2256 which thou lettest downH8257? {leviathan: That is, a whale or a whirlepoole} {which…: Heb. which thou drownest?}
Canst thou putH7760 an hookH100 into his noseH639? or boreH5344 his jawH3895 through with a thornH2336?
Will he make manyH7235 supplicationsH8469 unto thee? will he speakH1696 softH7390 words unto thee?
Will he makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee? wilt thou takeH3947 him for a servantH5650 for everH5769?
Wilt thou playH7832 with him as with a birdH6833? or wilt thou bindH7194 him for thy maidensH5291?
Shall the companionsH2271 make a banquetH3739 of him? shall they partH2673 him among the merchantsH3669?
Canst thou fillH4390 his skinH5785 with barbed ironsH7905? or his headH7218 with fishH1709 spearsH6767?
LayH7760 thine handH3709 upon him, rememberH2142 the battleH4421, do no moreH3254.
Behold, the hopeH8431 of him is in vainH3576: shall not one be cast downH2904 even at the sightH4758 of him?
None is so fierceH393 that dare stir him upH5782+H5782: who then is able to standH3320 beforeH6440 me?
Who hath preventedH6923 me, that I should repayH7999 him? whatsoever is under the whole heavenH8064 is mine.
I will not concealH2790 his partsH907, nor his powerH1369+H1697, nor his comelyH2433 proportionH6187.
Who can discoverH1540 the faceH6440 of his garmentH3830? or who can comeH935 to him with his doubleH3718 bridleH7448? {with: or, within}
Who can openH6605 the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? his teethH8127 are terribleH367 round aboutH5439.
His scalesH4043+H650 are his prideH1346, shut up togetherH5462 as with a closeH6862 sealH2368. {scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields}
OneH259 is so nearH5066 to anotherH259, that no airH7307 can comeH935 between them.
They are joinedH1692 oneH376 to anotherH251, they stick togetherH3920, that they cannot be sunderedH6504.
By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shineH1984, and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837.
Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980 burning lampsH3940, and sparksH3590 of fireH784 leap outH4422.
Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318 smokeH6227, as out of a seethingH5301 potH1731 or caldronH100.
His breathH5315 kindlethH3857 coalsH1513, and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310.
In his neckH6677 remainethH3885 strengthH5797, and sorrowH1670 is turned into joyH1750 beforeH6440 him. {is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth}
The flakesH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joined togetherH1692: they are firmH3332 in themselves; they cannot be movedH4131. {flakes: Heb. fallings}
His heartH3820 is as firmH3332 as a stoneH68; yea, as hardH3332 as a pieceH6400 of the netherH8482 millstone.
When he raiseth upH7613 himself, the mightyH352 are afraidH1481: by reason of breakingsH7667 they purifyH2398 themselves.
The swordH2719 of him that layethH5381 at him cannot holdH6965: the spearH2595, the dartH4551, nor the habergeonH8302. {habergeon: or, breastplate}
He esteemethH2803 ironH1270 as strawH8401, and brassH5154 as rottenH7539 woodH6086.
The arrowH1121+H7198 cannot make him fleeH1272: slingstonesH68+H7050 are turnedH2015 with him into stubbleH7179.
DartsH8455 are countedH2803 as stubbleH7179: he laughethH7832 at the shakingH7494 of a spearH3591.
SharpH2303 stonesH2789 are under him: he spreadethH7502 sharp pointed thingsH2742 upon the mireH2916. {Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd}
He maketh the deepH4688 to boilH7570 like a potH5518: he makethH7760 the seaH3220 like a pot of ointmentH4841.
He maketh a pathH5410 to shineH215 afterH310 him; one would thinkH2803 the deepH8415 to be hoaryH7872.
Upon earthH6083 there is not his likeH4915, who is madeH6213 withoutH1097 fearH2844. {is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear}
He beholdethH7200 all highH1364 things: he is a kingH4428 over all the childrenH1121 of prideH7830.
In that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 with his soreH7186 and greatH1419 and strongH2389 swordH2719 shall punishH6485 leviathanH3882 the piercingH1281 serpentH5175, even leviathanH3882 that crookedH6129 serpentH5175; and he shall slayH2026 the dragonH8577 that is in the seaH3220. {piercing: or, crossing like a bar}
