[1] Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You
are clothed with honor and majesty. [2] He covers himself with light as
with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. [3] He lays
the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his
chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind. [4] He makes his messengers
winds; His servants flames of fire. [5] He laid the foundations of the
earth, That it should not be moved forever. [6] You covered it with the
deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains. [7] At your
rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. [8]
The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had
assigned to them. [9] You have set a boundary that they may not pass over;
That they don`t turn again to cover the earth. [10] He sends forth
springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. [11] They give
drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their
thirst. [12] The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the
branches. [13] He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is
filled with the fruit of your works. [14] He causes the grass to grow for
the cattle, And plants for man to cultivate, That he may bring forth
food out of the earth: [15] Wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil
to make his face to shine, And bread that strengthens man`s heart. [16]
Yahweh`s trees are well watered, The cedars of Lebanon, which he has
planted; [17] Where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home
in the fir trees. [18] The high mountains are for the wild goats. The
rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. [19] He appointed the moon for
seasons. The sun knows when to set. [20] You make darkness, and it is
night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl. [21] The young
lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God. [22] The sun
rises, and they steal away, And lay down in their dens. [23] Man goes
forth to his work, To his labor until the evening. [24] Yahweh, how many
are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full
of your riches. [25] There is the sea, great and wide, In which are
innumerable living things, Both small and great animals. [26] There the
ships go, And leviathan, whom you formed to play there. [27] These all
wait for you, That you may give them their food in due season. [28] You
give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with
good. [29] You hide your face: they are troubled; You take away their
breath: they die, and return to the dust. [30] You send forth your Spirit:
they are created. You renew the face of the ground. [31] Let the glory
of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works. [32] He looks
at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
[33] I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my
God while I have any being. [34] Let your meditation be sweet to him. I
will rejoice in Yahweh. [35] Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.
Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
Psalm 105
