CLV(i)
2 You are muffled with light as a garment. Stretching out the heavens like a sheet,
3 The One Who is laying the rafters of His upper chambers on their waters, Who is making the thick clouds His chariot, Who is going on the wings of the wind,
4 Making His messengers winds, His ministers a flaming fire,
5 He has founded the earth on its bases. It shall never slip for the eon and further.
6 You covered it with the abyss as clothing; The waters stood above the mountains,
7 Yet from Your rebuke they fled; From the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
8 They ascended over the mountains; They descended to the valleys, To the place that You had founded for them."
9 You placed a boundary that they would never pass; They shall never return to cover the earth.
10 You are the One sending springs into the wadis; Between the mountains are they going.
11 They give drink to all the field life; Onagers break their thirst.
12 The flyers of the heavens roost by them; From among the thick-foliage they give out their sound.
13 You are the One irrigating the mountains from His upper chambers; From the fruit of Your works the earth is satisfied:
14 You are the One making grass sprout for the beasts And herbage for the service of humanity, To bring forth bread from the earth"
15 And wine that makes the heart of a mortal rejoice, To make the face lustrous with oil, And bread that braces the heart of mortal man."
16 The trees of Yahweh are satisfied, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the birds are nesting, Firs where the stork has her home."
18 The lofty mountains are for the ibexes; The crags are a refuge for the coneys.
19 He made the moon for appointed times, The sun that knows its setting."
20 You impose darkness, and it becomes night; All the life of the wildwood move about in it,
21 The sheltered lions roaring for prey And seeking their food from El.
22 When the sun is radiant again, they gather away, And they recline in their habitations."
23 Then humanity goes forth to its deeds And to its service until evening.
24 How numerous are Your works, O Yahweh! You have made all of them in wisdom; The earth is filled with Your achievements:"
25 This sea, great and wide on all hands; The creeper is there, and it is numberless, Animals, both small and great;"
26 The sea monsters are going there, The dragon that You have formed to gambol in it."
27 All of them look forward to You To supply their food in its season;
28 You supply it to them; they pick it up. You open Your hand; they are well satisfied.
29 You conceal Your face; they are filled with panic. You gather away their spirit; they breathe their last And return to their soil.
30 You send forth Your spirit; they are created, And You renew the face of the ground."
31 May the glory of Yahweh remain for the eon. May Yahweh rejoice in His works.
32 He is looking at the earth, and it quivers; He is touching the mountains, and they smoke."
33 I will sing to Yahweh throughout my life; I will make melody to my Elohim throughout my future.
34 May my meditation be congenial to Him; I shall rejoice in Yahweh.
35 May sinners be completely removed from the earth, And the wicked--let them be no more. Bless Yahweh, O my soul! Praise Yah!"
