God's majesty in the heavens, The making of all things of the sea, and the dry land

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain: He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind: He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants. He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire.
He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever; He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains; You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear; At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them. You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

His provision for all living things

You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills. He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water. They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches. The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.
He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works. He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
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; He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food 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. wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
The trees of the Lord are full of growth, the cedars of Lebanon of his planting; Yahweh’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house. where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.
The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts. The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

The regular course of day and night, and God's sovereign power over all the living things

He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down. He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
When you make it dark, it is night, when all the beasts of the woods come quietly out of their secret places. You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
The sun comes up, and they come together, and go back to their secret places to take their rest. The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens.
Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening. Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.
O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made. Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered. There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything. There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time. These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand. You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust. You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.
If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth. You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

A resolution to continue praising God

Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works: Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.
At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke. He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being. I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord. Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.
Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
