⁵ He ^(J)established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not ^[g]totter forever and ever.
⁶ You ^(K)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.
⁷ At Your ^(L)rebuke they fled,
At the ^(M)sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
⁸ The mountains rose; the valleys sank down
To the ^(N)place which You established for them.
⁹ You set a ^(O)boundary that they may not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.

^10 [h]He sends forth ^(P)springs in the valleys;
They flow between the mountains;
¹¹ They ^(Q)give drink to every beast of the field;
The ^(R)wild donkeys quench their thirst.
^12 [i]Beside them the birds of the heavens ^(S)dwell;
They ^[j]lift up their voices among the branches.
^13 [k]He ^(T)waters the mountains from His upper chambers;
^(U)The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

^14 [l]He causes the ^(V)grass to grow for the ^[m]cattle,
And ^(W)vegetation for the ^[n]labor of man,
So that ^[o]he may bring forth ^[p]food ^(X)from the earth,
¹⁵ And ^(Y)wine which makes man’s heart glad,
^(Z)So that he may make his face glisten with oil,
And ^[q]food which ^(AA)sustains man’s heart.
¹⁶ The trees of the Lord ^[r]drink their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
¹⁷ Where the ^(AB)birds build their nests,
And the ^(AC)stork, whose home is the ^[s]fir trees.

¹⁸ The high mountains are for the ^(AD)wild goats;
The ^(AE)cliffs are a refuge for the ^[t](AF)shephanim.
¹⁹ He made the moon ^(AG)for the seasons;
The ^(AH)sun knows the place of its setting.
²⁰ You ^(AI)appoint darkness and it becomes night,
In which all the ^(AJ)beasts of the forest ^[u]prowl about.
²¹ The ^(AK)young lions roar after their prey
^[v]And ^(AL)seek their food from God.
²² When the sun rises they withdraw
And lie down in their ^(AM)dens.
²³ Man goes forth to ^(AN)his work
And to his labor until evening.

²⁴ O Lord, how ^(AO)many are Your works!
^[w]In ^(AP)wisdom You have made them all;
The ^(AQ)earth is full of Your ^[x]possessions.
^25 [y]There is the ^(AR)sea, great and ^[z]broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.
²⁶ There the ^(AS)ships move along,
And ^[aa](AT)Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.

²⁷ They all ^(AU)wait for You
To ^(AV)give them their food in ^[ab]due season.
²⁸ You give to them, they gather it up;
You ^(AW)open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
²⁹ You ^(AX)hide Your face, they are dismayed;
You ^(AY)take away their ^[ac]spirit, they expire
And ^(AZ)return to their dust.
³⁰ You send forth Your ^[ad](BA)Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground.

³¹ Let the ^(BB)glory of the Lord endure forever;
Let the Lord ^(BC)be glad in His works;
^32 [ae]He ^(BD)looks at the earth, and it ^(BE)trembles;
He ^(BF)touches the mountains, and they smoke.
^33 [af]I will sing to the Lord ^[ag](BG)as long as I live;
^[ah]I will ^(BH)sing praise to my God ^[ai]while I have my being.
³⁴ Let my ^(BI)meditation be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall ^(BJ)be glad in the Lord.
³⁵ Let sinners be ^(BK)consumed from the earth
And let the ^(BL)wicked be no more.
^(BM)Bless the Lord, O my soul.
^[aj](BN)Praise ^[ak]the Lord!
