Praise to the Sovereign Lord For His Creation and Providence

1 Bless athe Lord, O my soul!

O Lord my God, You are very great:

You are clothed with honor and majesty,

2 Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,

Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

3 bHe lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,

Who makes the clouds His chariot,

Who walks on the wings of the wind,

4 Who makes His angels spirits,

His 1ministers a flame of fire.

5 You who 2laid the foundations of the earth,

So that it should not be moved forever,

6 You ccovered it with the deep as with a garment;

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At Your rebuke they fled;

At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.

8 3They went up over the mountains;

They went down into the valleys,

To the place which You founded for them.

9 You have dset a boundary that they may not pass over,

eThat they may not return to cover the earth.

10 He sends the springs into the valleys;

They flow among the hills.
