¹ The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all [the universe].

² Bless the LORD, you His angels, You mighty ones who do His commandments, Obeying the voice of His word!

³ Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him and do His will.

⁴ Bless the LORD, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion; Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul!

⁵ Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

⁶ [You are the One] who covers Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain,

⁷ Who lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters [above the firmament], Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind,

⁸ Who makes winds His messengers, Flames of fire His ministers.

⁹ He established the earth on its foundations, So that it will not be moved forever and ever.

¹⁰ You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains.

¹¹ At Your rebuke they fled; At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

¹² The mountains rose, the valleys sank down To the place which You established for them.

¹³ You set a boundary [for the waters] that they may not cross over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

¹⁴ You send springs into the valleys; Their waters flow among the mountains.

¹⁵ They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst there.

¹⁶ Beside them the birds of the heavens have their nests; They lift up their voices and sing among the branches.

¹⁷ He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

¹⁸ He causes grass to grow for the cattle, And all that the earth produces for cultivation by man, So that he may bring food from the earth—

¹⁹ And wine which makes the heart of man glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And bread to sustain and strengthen man's heart.

²⁰ The trees of the LORD drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He has planted,

²¹ Where the birds make their nests; As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

²² The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the[1] shephanim.

²³ He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the [exact] place of its setting.

²⁴ You [O LORD] make darkness and it becomes night, In which prowls about every wild beast of the forest.

²⁵ The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God.

²⁶ When the sun arises, they withdraw And lie down in their dens.
