1 My soule, prayse thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glorie and honour.
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honour and majesty.
2 Which couereth himselfe with light as with a garment, and spreadeth the heauens like a curtaine.
Who cover yourself with light as with a garment: who stretch out the heavens like a curtain:
3 Which layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the cloudes his chariot, and walketh vpon the wings of the winde.
Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:
4 Which maketh his spirits his messengers, and a flaming fire his ministers.
Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 He set the earth vpon her foundations, so that it shall neuer moue.
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6 Thou coueredst it with the deepe as with a garment: the waters woulde stand aboue the mountaines.
You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voyce of thy thunder they haste away.
At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hasted away.
8 And the mountaines ascend, and the valleis descend to the place which thou hast established for them.
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.
9 But thou hast set them a bounde, which they shall not passe: they shall not returne to couer the earth.
You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleis, which runne betweene the mountaines.
He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11 They shall giue drinke to all the beasts of the fielde, and the wilde asses shall quench their thirst.
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By these springs shall the foules of the heauen dwell, and sing among the branches.
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13 He watereth the mountaines from his chambers, and the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14 He causeth grasse to growe for the cattell, and herbe for the vse of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth,
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oyle to make the face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth mans heart.
And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.
16 The high trees are satisfied, euen the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
17 That ye birdes may make their nestes there: the storke dwelleth in the firre trees.
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 The high mountaines are for the goates: the rockes are a refuge for the conies.
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 He appoynted the moone for certaine seasons: the sunne knoweth his going downe.

21 The lions roare after their praye, and seeke their meate at God.
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 When the sunne riseth, they retire, and couche in their dennes.
The sun arises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Then goeth man forth to his worke, and to his labour vntill the euening.
Man goes forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24 O Lord, howe manifolde are thy workes! in wisdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.
25 So is this sea great and wide: for therein are things creeping innumerable, both small beastes and great.
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 There goe the shippes, yea, that Liuiathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
There go the ships: there is that leviathan (sea serpent), whom you have made to play therein.
27 All these waite vpon thee, that thou maiest giue them foode in due season.
These wait all upon you; that you may give them their food in due season.
28 Thou giuest it to them, and they gather it: thou openest thine hand, and they are filled with good things.
That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
29 But if thou hide thy face, they are troubled: if thou take away their breath, they dye and returne to their dust.
You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Againe if thou send forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renuest the face of the earth.
You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
31 Glory be to the Lord for euer: let the Lord reioyce in his workes.
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 He looketh on the earth and it trembleth: he toucheth the mountaines, and they smoke.

33 I will sing vnto the Lord all my life: I will prayse my God, while I liue.
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 Let my wordes be acceptable vnto him: I will reioyce in the Lord.
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked till there be no more: O my soule, prayse thou the Lord. Prayse ye the Lord.
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise all of you the LORD.
