To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are exceedingly great. You have clothed yourself with confession and beauty;
| עֹֽטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ | 2 |
you are dressed with light like a garment, while you stretch out heaven like a tent.
| הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲֽלִיּוֹתָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבוֹ הַֽמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 3 |
You cover its heights with water. You set the clouds as your stairs. You walk upon the wings of the winds.
| עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ | 4 |
You make your Angels a breath of life, and your ministers a burning fire.

You founded the earth upon its stable base. It will not be bent from age to age.
| תְּהוֹם כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתוֹ עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ מָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
The abyss, like a garment, is its clothing. The waters will remain standing above the mountains.
| מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ | 7 |
At your rebuke, they will flee. At the voice of your thunder, they will dread.
| יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעוֹת אֶל־מְקוֹם זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ | 8 |
The mountains ascend, and the plains descend, to the place which you have founded for them.
| גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשֻׁבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
You have set a limit that they will not cross. And they will not return to cover the earth.
| הַֽמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ | 10 |
You spring forth fountains in steep valleys. The waters will cross through the midst of the mountains.
| יַשְׁקוּ כׇּל־חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָֽם׃ | 11 |
All the wild beasts of the field will drink. The wild donkeys will anticipate in their thirst.
| עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכּוֹן מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃ | 12 |
Above them, the flying things of the air will dwell. From the midst of the rocks, they will utter voices.
| מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 13 |
You irrigate the mountains from your heights. The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,
| מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 14 |
producing grass for cattle and herbs for the service of men. So may you draw bread from the earth,
| וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ | 15 |
and wine, in order to cheer the heart of man. Then he may gladden his face with oil, and bread will confirm the heart of man.

You appointed darkness, and it has become night; all the beasts of the forest will cross through it.

How great are your works, O Lord! You have made all things in wisdom. The earth has been filled with your possessions.
| זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדוֹל וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָֽׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃ | 25 |
This sea is great and its hands are spacious. There are creeping things without number: the small animals with the great.

There, the ships will pass by this sea-serpent that you have formed to mock them.

All these expect you to give them food in due time.
| תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֽוֹב׃ | 28 |
What you give to them, they will gather. When you open your hand, they will all be filled with goodness.

But if you turn your face away, they will be disturbed. You will take away their breath, and they will fail, and they will return to their dust.

Let sinners fade away from the earth, along with the unjust, so that they may not be. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
