⁵ You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,^(I)
    God our Savior,^(J)
the hope of all the ends of the earth^(K)
    and of the farthest seas,^(L)
6 who formed the mountains^(M) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,^(N)
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,^(O)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.^(P)
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.^(Q)

⁹ You care for the land and water it;^(R)
    you enrich it abundantly.^(S)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,^(T)
    for so you have ordained it.^[d]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers^(U) and bless its crops.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty,^(V)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.^(W)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;^(X)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.^(Y)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks^(Z)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;^(AA)
    they shout for joy and sing.^(AB)

Lord my God, you are very great;
    you are clothed with splendor and majesty.^(B)

² The Lord wraps^(C) himself in light^(D) as with a garment;
    he stretches^(E) out the heavens^(F) like a tent^(G)
3     and lays the beams^(H) of his upper chambers on their waters.^(I)
He makes the clouds^(J) his chariot^(K)
    and rides on the wings of the wind.^(L)
4 He makes winds his messengers,^[a](M)
    flames of fire^(N) his servants.

⁵ He set the earth^(O) on its foundations;^(P)
    it can never be moved.
⁶ You covered it^(Q) with the watery depths^(R) as with a garment;
    the waters stood^(S) above the mountains.
⁷ But at your rebuke^(T) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder^(U) they took to flight;
⁸ they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned^(V) for them.
⁹ You set a boundary^(W) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

¹⁰ He makes springs^(X) pour water into the ravines;
    it flows between the mountains.
¹¹ They give water^(Y) to all the beasts of the field;
    the wild donkeys^(Z) quench their thirst.
¹² The birds of the sky^(AA) nest by the waters;
    they sing among the branches.^(AB)
13 He waters the mountains^(AC) from his upper chambers;^(AD)
    the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.^(AE)
14 He makes grass grow^(AF) for the cattle,
    and plants for people to cultivate—
    bringing forth food^(AG) from the earth:
¹⁵ wine^(AH) that gladdens human hearts,
    oil^(AI) to make their faces shine,
    and bread that sustains^(AJ) their hearts.
¹⁶ The trees of the Lord^(AK) are well watered,
    the cedars of Lebanon^(AL) that he planted.
¹⁷ There the birds^(AM) make their nests;
    the stork has its home in the junipers.
¹⁸ The high mountains belong to the wild goats;^(AN)
    the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.^(AO)

¹⁹ He made the moon to mark the seasons,^(AP)
    and the sun^(AQ) knows when to go down.
²⁰ You bring darkness,^(AR) it becomes night,^(AS)
    and all the beasts of the forest^(AT) prowl.
²¹ The lions roar for their prey^(AU)
    and seek their food from God.^(AV)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
    they return and lie down in their dens.^(AW)
23 Then people go out to their work,^(AX)
    to their labor until evening.^(AY)

²⁴ How many are your works,^(AZ) Lord!
    In wisdom you made^(BA) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.^(BB)
25 There is the sea,^(BC) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.^(BD)
26 There the ships^(BE) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,^(BF) which you formed to frolic^(BG) there.^(BH)

²⁷ All creatures look to you
    to give them their food^(BI) at the proper time.
²⁸ When you give it to them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied^(BJ) with good things.
²⁹ When you hide your face,^(BK)
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.^(BL)
30 When you send your Spirit,^(BM)
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the ground.

³¹ May the glory of the Lord^(BN) endure forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works^(BO)—
³² he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,^(BP)
    who touches the mountains,^(BQ) and they smoke.^(BR)

³³ I will sing^(BS) to the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
³⁴ May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    as I rejoice^(BT) in the Lord.
³⁵ But may sinners vanish^(BU) from the earth
    and the wicked be no more.^(BV)

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Praise the Lord.^[b](BW)

³ May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.^(D)
4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,^(E)
    for you rule the peoples with equity^(F)
    and guide the nations of the earth.^(G)
5 May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.

⁶ The land yields its harvest;^(H)
    God, our God, blesses us.^(I)
7 May God bless us still,
    so that all the ends of the earth^(J) will fear him.^(K)
