Readings for Celebrating Advent

104 Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
² 
[You are the One] who covers Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain,
³ 
Who lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters [above the firmament],
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
⁴ 
Who makes winds His messengers,
Flames of fire His ministers.^(A)
