1 Bless the Lord, O my soul!

O Lord my God, thou art very great!

Thou art clothed with honor and majesty,

2 who coverest thyself with light as with a garment,

who hast stretched out the heavens like a tent,

3 who hast laid the beams of thy chambers on the waters,

who makest the clouds thy chariot,

who ridest on the wings of the wind,

4 who makest the winds thy messengers,

fire and flame thy ministers.
