³ He lays the beams of his roof loft on the water above,^[b]
    making clouds his chariot,
        walking on the wings of the wind.
⁴ He makes the winds his messengers,
    blazing fires his servants.
⁵ He established the earth on its foundations,
    so that it never falters.

⁶ You covered the primeval ocean like a garment;
    the water stood above the mountains.
⁷ They flee at your rebuke;
    they rush away at the sound of your thunders.
⁸ Mountains rise up and valleys sink
    to the place you have ordained for them.
⁹ You have set a boundary they cannot cross;
    they will never again cover the earth.

¹⁰ He causes springs to gush forth into rivers
    that flow between the^[c] mountains.
¹¹ They give water^[d] for animals of the field to drink;
    the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
¹² Birds of the sky live beside them
    and chirp a song^[e] among the foliage.

¹³ He waters the mountains from his heavenly rooms;
    the earth is satisfied from the fruit of your work.
¹⁴ He causes grass to sprout for the cattle
    and plants for people to cultivate,
        to produce food from the land,
¹⁵ like wine that makes the heart of people^[f] happy,
    oil that makes the face glow,
        and food^[g] that sustains people.^[h]

¹⁶ The loftiest trees^[i] are satisfied,
    the cedars of Lebanon that he planted,
¹⁷ the birds build their nests there,
    and the heron builds^[j] its nest among the evergreen.
¹⁸ The high mountains are for wild goats;
    the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badger.

¹⁹ He made the moon to mark time;^[k]
    the sun knows its setting time.
²⁰ You bring darkness and it becomes night;
    when every beast of the forest prowls.
²¹ Young lions roar for prey,
    seeking their food from God.
²² When the sun rises, they^[l] gather
    and lie down in their dens.
²³ People go out to their work
    and labor until evening.

²⁴ How numerous are your works, Lord!
    You have made them all wisely;
        the earth is filled with your creations.^[m]
25 There is the deep and wide sea,
    teeming with numberless creatures,
        living things small and great.
²⁶ There, the ships pass through;
    Leviathan, which you created, frolics in it.

²⁷ All of them look to you
    to provide them^[n] their food at the proper time.
²⁸ They receive what you give them;
    when you open your hand,
        they are filled with good things.
²⁹ When you withdraw your favor,^[o]
    they are disappointed;
Take away their breath,
    and^[p] they die^[q] and return to dust.
³⁰ When you send your spirit,^[r] they are^[s] created,
    and you replenish the surface of the earth.

³¹ May the glory of the Lord last forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works!
³² He looks at the earth and it shakes;
    he touches the mountains and they smoke.
³³ I will sing to the Lord with my whole being;^[t]
    I will sing to my God continually!
³⁴ May my thoughts be pleasing to him;
    indeed, I will rejoice in the Lord!
³⁵ May sinners disappear from the land
    and the wicked live no longer.

Bless the Lord, my soul! Hallelujah!
