A meditation upon the mighty power,

1 ¶ Blessºª² the LORD,º O my soul.º O LORDº my God,º thou art veryº great;ºª thou art clothedºª with honourº and majesty.º 2 Who coverestºª [thyself] with lightº as [with] a garment:º who stretchest outºª the heavensº like a curtain:º 3 Who layeth the beamsºª of his chambersº in the waters:º who makethºª the cloudsº his chariot:º who walkethºª upon² the wingsº of the wind:º 4 Who makethºª his angelsº spirits;º his ministersºª a flamingºª fire:º 5 [Who] laidºª² the foundationsº of the earth,º [that] it should not² be removedºª for ever.ºº 6 Thou coveredstºª it with the deepº as [with] a garment:º the watersº stoodºª above² the mountains.º

and wonderful providence of God.

7 Atº thy rebukeº they fled;ºª at² the voiceº of thy thunderº they hasted¹ª away.² 8 They go upºª by the mountains;º they go downºª by the valleysº unto² the placeº whichº thou hast foundedºª for them. 9 Thou hast setºª a boundº that they may not² pass over;ºª that they turn not againºª² to coverºª the earth.º 10 He sendethºª the springsº into the valleys,º [which] runºª among² the hills.º 11 They give drinkºª to every² beastº of the field:º the wild assesº quenchºª their thirst.º 12 By² them shall the fowlsº of the heavenº have their habitation,ºª [which] singººª amongº² the branches.º 13 He waterethºª the hillsº from his chambers:º² the earthº is satisfiedºª with the fruitº² of thy works.º 14 He causeth the grassº to growºª for the cattle,º and herbº for the serviceº of man:º that he may bring forthºª foodº out of² the earth;º 15 And wineº [that] maketh gladºª the heartº of man,º [and] oilº² to make [his] faceº to shine,ºª and breadº [which] strengthenethºª man'sº heart.º 16 The treesº of the LORDº are fullºª [of sap]; the cedarsº of Lebanon,º which² he hath planted;ºª 17 Where²² the birdsº make their nests:ºª [as for] the stork,º the fir treesº [are] her house.º 18 The highº hillsº [are] a refugeº for the wild goats;º [and] the rocksº for the conies.º 19 He appointedºª the moonº for seasons:º the sunº knowethºª his going down.º 20 Thou makestºª darkness,º and it is² night:º wherein all² the beastsº of the forestº do creepºª [forth]. 21 The young lionsº roarºª after their prey,º and seekºª their meatº from God.º² 22 The sunº ariseth,ºª they gather themselves together,ºª and lay them downºª in² their dens.º 23 Manº goeth forthºª unto his workº and to his labourº until² the evening.º 24 O LORD,º how² manifoldºª are thy works!º in wisdomº hast thou madeºª them all:² the earthº is fullºª of thy riches.º 25 [So is] this² greatº and wideºº sea,º wherein² [are] things creepingº innumerable,º² both smallº and² greatº beasts.º 26 There² goºª the ships:º [there is] that leviathan,º [whom] thou² hast madeºª to playºª therein. 27 These waitºª all² upon² thee; that thou mayest giveºª [them] their meatº in due season.º 28 [That] thou givestºª them they gather:ºª thou openestºª thine hand,º they are filledºª with good.º 29 Thou hidestºª thy face,º they are troubled:ºª thou takest awayºª their breath,º they die,ºª and returnºª to² their dust.º 30 Thou sendest¹ª forth² thy spirit,º they are created:ºª and thou renewestºª the faceº of the earth.º
