My soul, bless the LORD!
LORD my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with majesty and splendor.
laying the beams of his palace
on the waters above,
making the clouds his chariot,
walking on the wings of the wind,
The birds of the sky live beside the springs;
they make their voices heard among the foliage.
He waters the mountains from his palace;
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of your labor.
He causes grass to grow for the livestock
and provides crops for man to cultivate,
producing food from the earth,
wine that makes human hearts glad —
making his face shine with oil —
and bread that sustains human hearts.
How countless are your works, LORD!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.[fn]
Here is the sea, vast and wide,
teeming with creatures beyond number —
living things both large and small.
When you give it to them,
they gather it;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.
When you hide your face,
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.
May sinners vanish from the earth
and wicked people be no more.
My soul, bless the LORD!
Hallelujah!
