¹ Man goes out to his work And remains at his labor until evening.

² O LORD, how many and varied are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your riches and Your creatures.

³ There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Creatures both small and great.

⁴ There the ships [of the sea] sail, And Leviathan [the sea monster], which You have formed to play there.

⁵ They all wait for You To give them their food in its appointed season.

⁶ You give it to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are filled and satisfied with good [things].

⁷ You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their breath, they die And return to their dust.

⁸ You send out Your Spirit, they are created; You renew the face of the ground.

⁹ May the glory of the LORD endure forever; May the LORD rejoice and be glad in His works—

¹⁰ He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

¹¹ I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

¹² May my meditation be sweet and pleasing to Him; As for me, I will rejoice and be glad in the LORD.

¹³ Let sinners be consumed from the earth, And let the wicked be no more. Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)

¹⁴ O give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the people.

¹⁵ Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonderful acts and devoutly praise them.

¹⁶ Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those who seek and require the LORD [as their most essential need] rejoice.

¹⁷ Seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually.
