¹ ([Psalm of David]) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made. ² Day to day declares speech. Night to night shows knowledge. ³ It is done without talking, without words, without their voices being heard. ⁴ Yet, their measuring line (rule) has gone out into the entire world, their message to the ends of the earth.

¹ Bless Jehovah with all my being! O Jehovah my God, You are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty. ² You cover yourself with light as with a cloak. You stretch out clouds in the sky like a curtain. ³ You lay the beams of your upper chambers in the waters. You make the clouds your chariot. You walk upon the wings of the wind. ⁴ You make the winds your messengers, the flaming fire your ministers. ⁵ You established the earth upon its foundations, so that it will not be unstable forever. ⁶ You covered it with the deep like a garment. The waters stood above the mountains. ⁷ They fled at your rebuke. At the sound of your thunder they hurried away. ⁸ The mountains rose and the valleys sank down to the place you appointed for them. ⁹ You set a boundary that they may not go beyond. They will not return to cover the earth. ¹⁰ You send watering springs to the valleys. They flow between the mountains. ¹¹ They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. ¹² Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell. They lift up voices among the branches. ¹³ You water the mountains from your upper chambers. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works. ¹⁴ You cause the grass to grow for the cattle and vegetation for the labor of man. That he may bring forth food from the earth, ¹⁵ And wine which makes man's heart glad. That he may make his face shine with oil, and food, which sustains man's heart. ¹⁶ Jehovah’s trees drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted, ¹⁷ Where the birds build their nests, the stork, whose home is the fir tree. ¹⁸ The high mountains are for the wild goats. The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers. ¹⁹ You made the moon for the seasons. The sun knows the place of its setting. ²⁰ You appoint darkness and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about. ²¹ The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God. ²² They withdraw at sunrise and lie down in their dens. ²³ Man goes to his work and to his labor until evening. ²⁴ O Jehovah, how many are your works! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your possessions. ²⁵ The sea is so big and wide with many creatures, living things both large and small. ²⁶ Ships sail on it, and Leviathan (great sea animal), which you made, plays in it. ²⁷ All of them wait for you to give them their food at the proper time. ²⁸ You give it to them, and they gather it up. You open your hand, and they are satisfied with many blessings. ²⁹ You hide your face, and they are frightened. You take away their breath, and they die and return to dust. ³⁰ You send out your Spirit, and they are created. You renew the face of the earth. ³¹ Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever. May Jehovah find joy in his works. ³² He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. ³³ I will sing to Jehovah throughout my life. I will make music to praise my God as long as I live. ³⁴ May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I will find joy in Jehovah. ³⁵ Let sinners be consumed from the world. Let the wicked no longer exist. Bless Jehovah with all my being! Praise Jehovah!
