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.

²⁴ How many are your works,^(A) Lord!
    In wisdom you made^(B) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.^(C)
25 There is the sea,^(D) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.^(E)
26 There the ships^(F) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,^(G) which you formed to frolic^(H) there.^(I)

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