[1] Let all that I am praise the Lord. O Lord my God, how great you are! You are robed with honor and majesty.
[2] You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;
[3] you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.
[4] The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.
[5] You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.
[6] You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.
[7] At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.
[8] Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.
[9] Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.
[10] You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.
[11] They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
[12] The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.
[13] You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.
[14] You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth—
[15] wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin, and bread to give them strength.
[16] The trees of the Lord are well cared for— the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
[17] There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.
[18] High in the mountains live the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.
[19] You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.
[20] You send the darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about.
[21] Then the young lions roar for their prey, stalking the food provided by God.
[22] At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.
[23] Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.
[24] O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.
[25] Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every kind, both large and small.
[26] See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.
[27] They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.
[28] When you supply it, they gather it. You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied.
[29] But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.
[30] When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.
[31] May the glory of the Lord continue forever! The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!
[32] The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch.
[33] I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath!
[34] May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.
[35] Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth; let the wicked disappear forever. Let all that I am praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
