Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.
| עטה אור כשלמה נוטה שמים כיריעה׃ | 2 |
You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:

Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;
| מן גערתך ינוסון מן קול רעמך יחפזון׃ | 7 |
At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;

The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.

They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water.

The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches.

He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works.
| מצמיח חציר לבהמה ועשב לעבדת האדם להוציא לחם מן הארץ׃ | 14 |
He makes the grass come up for the cattle, and plants for the use of man; so that bread may come out of the earth;

And wine to make glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shining, and bread giving strength to his heart.
