O LORD my God, You are very great;

So that he may make his face glisten with oil,

And bread to sustain and strengthen man’s heart.

The trees of the LORD drink their fill,

In which are swarms without number,

Creatures both small and great.

To give them their food in its appointed season.

You take away their breath, they die

And return to their dust.
